They do not require companies to keep phone calls for 2 years prior to the warrant, and the agency/police has to handle the data collection (call recording). Could you imagine the ourcry if call retention was required.<br>

<br>
Nope. Currently doesn't require a serious crime, a warrant, or the involvement of the police.<br>
<br>
Telecommunications data requests are administrative actions which can be instigated by any agency with an interest in the public revenue, all the way down to your local council's public library. They are now routinely made by such august personages as the Victorian taxicab board and the RSPCA.<br>
<br>
You're thinking of telecommunications interceptions, which do require law enforcement, a serious crime, and a warrant; and which have literally nothing whatsoever to do with the data retention proposal under discussion here.<br>
