Police sought Google user info
Search giant received 62 requests in 6 months

SINGAPORE police and other law enforcement agencies have, over several occasions last year, asked Internet search giant Google to surrender information on its users.
Although Google refused to say what information was requested, The Straits Times understands that it could include what a user was looking for, when and where he used a Google service like Blogger, and even the contents of his Gmail account.
