The Supreme Court on Tuesday will hear arguments Tuesday about whether police need a warrant to obtain a person\u0027s IP address.
“As more of our lives move online, now is a reasonable time to think through what should be the constraints on state power when it comes to watching what we do online. At its core, this case is about that,” Brenda McPhail, the director of privacy, technology and surveillance at the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, said in an interview.Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion delivered straight to your inbox at 7 a.m., Monday to Friday.
After a grocery store flagged suspicious purchases to Calgary Police, the police service contacted Moneris — the company managing the grocery store’s online sales — to obtain the IP addresses involved in the transactions. After Moneris provided the IP addresses, the police applied to the court to obtain a production order to compel the internet provider to identify the subscriber.
An IP address identifies each device connected to the internet. “Here, the numbers over which the appellant asserts a reasonable expectation of privacy are 75.156.161.143 and 75.158.6.122 — numbers that expose nothing about the appellant’s core biographical details, private life, or online browsing habits,” the Crown said in its court filing.Article content
But the CCLA says that information in an IP address is similar to that found in cell tower data, which police need court authorization to access.
