The movement began when Rasmus Malver asked his phone company, TDC, for a copy of their retained data. When the company finally delivered the data, it was evident that they had retained data illegally. The Telecom Industry Association of Denmark had publically claimed that they were opposed to violating human rights. Malver decided to call their bluff, and when presented with a draft suppœna TDC disowned the association's statement.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Attempting to justify their illegal actions, the Telecom Association published a letter from the minister of justice, Søren Pape Poulsen, telling them to disregard the law.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The case could still be brought against the phone companies, but with this letter they have a better case for arguing ignorance (although that is [technically a moot point](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignorantia_juris_non_excusat)). However the actions of the minister are so grave that, in consultation with our attorneys, we have decided to file suit against the state instead. A democratic society cannot tolerate officials threatening citizens and companies with prosecution if they honour the law.

* ### Why not TDC?
|

TDC claim ignorance of the law. With the letter from the minister, they argue that they lack the ability to understand the illegality of a ministerial order.

It will be more difficult and more expensive to argue a case against the state of Denmark. But it will set the precedent for future governments wanting to oppress the fundamental rights of the people.

* ### Why should I care? If surveillance can hinder crime, I'm pro data retention!
|
||||
Mass surveillance does not necessarily prevent or stop crime. It **can** lead to more arrests and fewer unsolved crimes, but mainly because innocent people will be punished. Having a database table of the location of unsolved crime and a database table of everybody's movements makes it possible to collate data and prove that everybody is guilty.

No. All of the funds will go to paying legal fees and the attorney, ([Bird & Bird](https://www.twobirds.com)). If there is “too much” money (unlikely), it will be forwarded to a similar case or organisation.

The location of your mobile phone at all times of every day. Who you communicate with and, to some degree, what you do online. You can ask your provider for a copy of the data. If they reply within a reasonable time, they are allowed to charge you up to 200 DKK for it.

|

No. When mass surveillance was brought in on EU level, politicians were told it violates human rights, and thus it would be illegal. When implemented in Denmark they were told the same. When the ministerial notice was issued they were told again.
|
||||
|
||||
A ministerial notice (bekendtgørelse) cannot exist without a legal basis in a law, and a law implementing EU regulation cannot exist when the regulation has been struck down.
