“There are two primary elements that appear to buttress the argument that storing data in Switzerland is a great idea: firstly, the Swiss Criminal Procedure Code puts strict limits on what type of digital surveillance may or may not be used. Swiss law enforcement is not allowed to use a given technique unless it is specifically authorized and regulated under the law. By comparison, American law enforcement tends to take the attitude that it will use whatever tools are at its disposal until that tool is reined in.  Further, it’s a crime for corporate representatives or law enforcement agents to access data on an unauthorized basis, punishable by a fine of up to 10,000 Swiss francs or three months in prison.”
