Currently, what we are required to do from there is to draft a production order to get the subscriber's name and address. That process takes man-hours. It takes time to draft the production order, but then, insofar as the result of the production order, it is left to the Internet service provider to give us that result. It can take up to 30 days, if not more sometimes.
That's not the end of the road, though, obviously. Once we have the IP address identified to a subscriber, we then have an address. Once we have the address, we start to do our investigation into that address and into the residents of that address. Then, more often than not, it will lead to a search warrant. We will need to satisfy the courts and provide reasonable, probable grounds to believe an offence was committed within that residence and evidence exists within it. We will then go through that door, get and seize those computers and electronic devices, and look for the traces that led us to that door in the first place.
You have to remember that we don't get an IP address out of the blue. It's been pre-identified for us. It's been given to us by an electronic service provider that is self-reporting online criminal activity. They see it as criminal activity, they report it and then it lands on our desk, unsolicited. We receive those reports, which are provided to us voluntarily by the electronic service provider.
