Rogers gave customer info to police, government in 97% of 2015 requests

Rogers handed over customer data such as names, addresses and billing information to law enforcement and government agencies in response to 97 per cent of their more than 80,000 requests last year, the company says in its third annual transparency report.

    The article didn't say - any idea what they are requesting? Like for pirating stuff, or whatever?

      Part of the problem is that we just don't know why the information is being requested in a lot of cases, and government/police agencies aren't required to tell us.
      I'm sure most of the cases aren't sinister at all. For example, police are able to request location information from cell phones if someone is believed to be suicidal. It would just be nice if the various agencies out there would at least publish general statistics about the nature of the requests.
      To use their own logic against them, "if they have nothing to hide, then why not tell us?"
