Wiretap order needed to seize text messages, court rules

Police need a wiretap order to seize text messages from your wireless provider, Canada's highest court has ruled.

The judges of the Supreme Court of Canada ruled 5-2 in favour of Telus Communications on Thursday, overturning a lower court ruling that required the company to hand over copies of two of its customers' text messages after it was served with a general warrant.

Telus had appealed the ruling. It argued that seizing the messages would constitute "interception" of the communication and would therefore require a wiretap warrant, which is more difficult to get than a general warrant due to special privacy provisions in the Criminal Code protecting private communications.
