This sounds vaguely familiar to the Data Retention Directive, already in place in several european countries. If you ask me, it's bullshit. For the people that would be afraid of getting caught by this, they should know that it takes about 5 seconds to connect to a VPN and then you have bypassed it all together. This means that the innocent will be watched, while the criminals smart enough just bypass it with ease.

I live in Norway, and the DRD (Data Retention Directive) will be activated July next year (I think). At that time, I will push all my traffic through a VPN. My 5 cents.
