They ARE used in this country (they are more commonly known as witness summons to the lay person and known as a witness citation in Scotland).

There are two types of subpoena - the ‘subpoena duces tecum’ which means that the court requires you to provide certain specified documents, or a ‘subpoena ad testificandum’ which requires you to attend court to give evidence.

A failure to attend when subpoenaed can be treated as a contempt of court.


Sometimes Police Officers give more than just speeding tickets!

Thanks Wench, I thought I should have checked that statement, but a policeman (or individual) can't apply for a subpoena as he does a warrant, it is only the Court/Judge that can require/issue one. Is that right??? (if that makes sense???)

I wasn't looking at anything, I was going from memory and personal experience.

This was a law brought in when those ridiculous section ~40 terrorism laws came into effect, court orders are required to obtain account holder information, ISP's are required to store and provide certain information, they don't do it for free.

Duh. Good luck getting info from .ru or .in proxy services. Perhaps my example of anonymizer.ru lead you to believe I was talking about popular anonymizing services hosted in the US like hidemyass or proxify, I wasn't.

You're talking about hitting nodes as they get routed or sniffing traffic? MITM attacks? those require a GREAT deal of infrastructure to be controlled or directly accessable by whoever is supposed to be tracking the changing IP. It's not realistic.

Ugh, no one would go to that much trouble when you can buy VPN access with virtual cc's or bitcoins for a couple dollars a piece. Interesting idea though.

All UK internet traffic is monitored at Menwith Hill and/or Fylingdales by both UK and US governments.

Almost all major Russian internet services are run by Russian Universities, the government there is more restrictive than ours. The chances of anonimzer.ru (or whatever) being a truly independent subterfuge organisation are extremely slim and governments do cooperate, they can't afford not to.

The Secretary of State powers for obtaining records came in before the terrorism laws as they were already in place under the Telecommunications Acts, I think the terrorism act added requirements for what was held and for what timescales.

Although there are a lot of theoretical ways to confuse your ip source, most are reliant on third parties who you don't know what they are really doing - as I said, they like the users to think it works - but does it really wink
