United Kingdom Repealed

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The compulsory collection of electronic information is limited by the Constitution and empowering statutes, as interpreted in case law, which in particular provide for the criteria to be applied by courts when issuing a warrant. In addition, the APPIHAO imposes a number of limitations applicable to both the collection and handling of information (while local ordinances reproduce essentially the same criteria for the Prefectural Police).

  1. (1)Limitations following from the Constitution and the empowering statute
  2. (2)Limitations following from the APPIHAO
