I'm not sure how well they work in practice in individual member countries. I recall some ISP guys complaining about how this required Denmark to essentially save all netflow data which would be a huge data storage requirement, but maybe it got relaxed. I can't say I exactly have heard of it being the base of any arrests.
- DasIch 15y agoGermany's Federal Constitutional Court invalidated a law that required ISPs to store the internet history and phone calls (who called whom and location they were made from in case of cell phones) for 6 months. Afaik there are constitutional issues in several countries with the data retention laws the EU tries to enforce.
