This paper describes the challenges France, Germany and Italy face in trying to collect e-evidence. More specifically, the text’s authors first focus on three case studies that center on the things that make collecting this particular type of data so challenging – i.e., 1) the legislation enacted by EU member states; 2) the tools and techniques used by law enforcement agencies; and 3) how service providers address cross border data requests by and between EU member states and the USA. The authors then 4) detail the current EU framework on criminal justice cooperation and explore whether it actually facilitates collaboration between member states and between them and the USA; 5) analyze the main commonalities and differences that exist in the acquisition of e-evidence; and 6) suggest ways to improve the EU’s quest for criminal justice in cyberspace.
