This paper discusses three topics in the area of procuring electronic data by means of coercion: In a first step it raises the question whether traditional seizure exceeds to data stored in the seized object as such (e.g. a pc). It goes to explore legal issues related to data stored in external databases. Finally, it focuses on transnational situations when mutual legal assistance is needed. It argues that the concept of forum regit actum may be superior to the to the traditional locus regit actum approach.
