What address did BT give you?

221b Baker Street, London


You know, I am normally very against the over-the-top demands that law enforcement try to place on carriers. Certainly the non-standard format for delivery of data that CALCEA requires is a prime example. But situations like this, where BT gives US local, US federal and even UK police the runaround gives me a lot more sympathy for their situation.

I do hope that when the UK police get tired of waiting, that they shut down everything in BT's data centre and take it all as evidence. BT deserves at least that, and frankly a whole lot more.

A local fraud group is trying to determine if anyone whose card was stolen was a UK citizen so that a lawsuit against BT is possible.
