>If the police stands in front of my house with a warrant to search my belongings, can I refuse that? Does it make sense if I have nothing to hide? Contrary to what others on this thread are saying, no. You cannot deny them entry. At that point, in that situation, the police are authorized to use force to exercise that warrant and you have no recourse but to cooperate. I don't know where people get this silly idea that they can refuse. That's how you turn a peaceful affair into police busting down the door, legally shooting your alarmed dog, wrestling you into handcuffs, and executing the warrant by force. I wouldn't be surprised if your refusal to cooperate would be admissible as evidence of mens rea. Don't be stupid. The kind of warrant that Amazon is contesting is different than the kind that police show up at your door with. They could get one of those for Amazon too: a warrant to enter Amazon's buildings and seize servers, hard drives, papers, etc. If Amazon itself, or its employees, was suspected of criminal wrongdoing, and being investigated by a police force with physical jurisdiction over the locations to be searched, that would happen. Businesses are searched this way all the time.
