General Principles
Section 487.017 permits a judge or justice to order the disclosures of "tracking data" (i.e. location data) records. The form and content mirrors that of s. 487.017 concerning "transmission data".
- Production order — tracking data
487.017 (1) On ex parte application made by a peace officer or public officer, a justice or judge may order a person to prepare and produce a document containing tracking data that is in their possession or control when they receive the order.
- Conditions for making order
(2) Before making the order, the justice or judge must be satisfied by information on oath in Form 5.004 [forms] that there are reasonable grounds to suspect that
- (a) an offence has been or will be committed under this or any other Act of Parliament; and
- (b) the tracking data is in the person’s possession or control and will assist in the investigation of the offence.
- Form
(3) The order is to be in Form 5.007 [forms].

- the tracking data "will assist in the investigation of the offence".
The standard of proof is "reasonable grounds to suspect".[1]

The reference in s. 487.011 to "justice or judge" will refer to a justice of the peace, provincial court judge or a superior court judge.[2]

A peace officer is defined under s. 2.[4]
