The EU "e-evidence" regulation is a critical piece of new legislation directly affecting all EU citizens. Proposed in 2017, it has been completed in 2023 as has since become law, mandating a more or less direct, cross border access to all sorts of stored information by law enforcement. I will be addressing how individuals are affected and how the release of e-evidence works technically. Who are the actors? Which types of information can be requested? How are individual rights protected?
