In having electronic or magnetic records provided under an order to provide electronic or magnetic records (meaning an order to provide electronic or magnetic records prescribed in Article 102-2, paragraph (1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure as amended by the provisions of Article 1), or in seizing recording media relating to electronic or magnetic records, particular care must be taken, in light of the fact that the protection of personal information has become more important in a digital society, to avoid, to the extent possible, acquiring personal information that has no relevance to the case of the accused or the case of the suspect.
