David Rogers,
You Cannot Be Serious!
Of course they are available, all phone records are archived then after a period transferred to the relevant communications authority where they stored, usually for ever.
Same applies to internet records, even companies that go bankrupt have their records archived.
.
Cell phone records yes but not local land line histories (only long distance). This is from Steve Thomas' deposition:
1 But I think it's different because you have
2 to be up on the trap and trace to record
3 incoming/outgoing, also known as a pen
4 register. But a dump, whereas anything prior
5 -- I'm not explaining this well.
6 Q. Let me see if I can help. Was
7 there a mechanism in Boulder that would allow
8 you to go to the phone company and say I
9 want you to go back and tell me today on the
10 26th of December all outgoing and ingoing
11 calls to the Ramsey number for, say, the last
12 two or three days?
13 A. No.
14 Q. You had to do it forward, not
15 backward?
16 A. Right, I'm not familiar with any
17 -- the phone company here having any
18 capability to do that.
19 Q. Do you know for a fact that they
20 could not?
21 A. With the exception, and I don't
22 know how detailed you want to get into this,
23 but certainly toll calls, toll calls you can
24 certainly go back and retrieve.
25 Q. Long-distance toll calls?
1 A. Yeah.
2 Q. Did you all do that with the
3 Ramsey records?
4 A. I think so.
