Amazon said will not release customer information without a valid and binding legal demand properly served on it.
If my reading of this is correct, seems like all Amazon is really saying here is they're refusing to hand over the data until they're "properly served" the warrant.
The Guardian article did mention that "Arkansas police issued a warrant to Amazon to turn over recordings" but as IANAL it's unclear to me whether or not that's the same as actually serving the warrant, legally speaking.
Is "issuing" a warrant the same as "serving" it?
- maxerickson 10y agoMy non-lawyerly speculation is that Amazon doesn't agree that they are under the jurisdiction of the court that issued the warrant.
