The phone companies love to make profits.   They charge the cops 
exorbitant sums for wee bits of data like a day's cellsite 
tables.   So I'd factor in very large greed multiplier, which may 
confound a simple data assessment.

[This is based on experience, by the way.   I've done many cellsite 
analysis cases in the last five years, and a fair number of times the 
amount of data acquired has been minimised not for human rights 
reasons but because of the impact on the bottom line of police budgets.]
