It sounds like a lot - it is a lot - but the second paragraph
I quote, below, raises the point that in every crime you'll probably
find a perp or a victim who had a cell phone on them. That could make
quite useful evidence. It would be nice to see a larger breakdown of
just what kind of requests these are, what they're for, etc.
NYT:
In the first public accounting of its kind, cellphone
carriers reported that they responded to a startling 1.3 million demands
for subscriber information last year from law enforcement agencies
seeking text messages, caller locations and other information in the
course of investigations.
“At every crime scene,
there’s some type of mobile device,” said Peter Modafferi, chief of
detectives for the Rockland County district attorney’s office in New
York, who also works on investigative policies and operations with the
International Association of Chiefs of Police. The need for the police
to exploit that technology “has grown tremendously, and it’s absolutely
vital,” he said in an interview.
