Sažetak
Establishing the identity of telecommunications addresses was introduced in 2002. into the Law on criminal procedure as a new criminal investigation measure although it has been applied in the police practice for some years past. Most often at the very beginning it was tried to establish who, at which time and how long had contacts through telecommunications. The a/m data proved to be exceptionally useful for discovering perpetrators of criminal offences as well as for prevention of planned criminal activities. From the very factual files on realised telecommunications contacts sometimes it is not possible to make conclusions which could be considered useful for criminal investigations. At the very moment of comparison of these data with other police files and data bases for which there are legal prerequisites in the Law on criminal procedure, data on identity of telecommunications addresses obtain "added value". Development of technology and teleco¬mmunications services also offer new possibilities to the perpetrators of criminal offences but to the police officers as well. It is essential to find a balance betvveen business (financial) interests of providers of telecommunications services and the interest of the government bodies which on the basis of prescribed legal provisions have the possibility of legal access to the files and surveillance of telecommunications services with a view of protecting national security and suppression of most dangerous types of crime.
