Police need a warrant, but websites and regular businesses can collect and link a user’s IP to their personal details and share it with anyone, with no court intervention required.
How does that make any sense?
Maybe police will find a way around this loophole by purchasing collected data as an “advertising partner.”
Wasn’t there something like this already? Swear I read couple months ago something about a police force buying data off data brokers to get around protections in place.

Yeah it happened in the US though.
Not that Canadian data standards are much higher.
No the article was about the rcmp doing it too.
Oh, FFS. That doesn’t even surprise me at this point!
Thats why police were signing up to info IP purchase vias ISP and other vendors so they could purchase suspects data outside of the warrant system
It flows that your IP is now PII, and will be subject to regulation. We’ll see when the first lawsuit happens.
