Hampton Roads Telephone Analysis Sharing Network

The Hampton Roads Telephone Analysis Sharing Network is a program through which law enforcement agencies in five Virginia cities access a shared database containing phone records and contents of seized mobile devices.[1][2]

Participating cities

Sharing

Participating agencies have, through a memorandum of understanding, agreed to "share telephone intelligence information derived from any source with the (task force) including: subpoenaed telephone call detail records, subpoenaed telephone subscriber information, and seized mobile devices."[1]

Controversy

Rob Poggenklass, an ACLU staff attorney, stated that the program violates Virginia's Government Data Collection and Dissemination Practices Act. The Virginia State Police stated that they declined to join, citing the same statute.[1]
