Abuse of "contempt of court" to compel third parties not accused of any other crime to assist in an investigation is also a problem. The court can ask for the data, of course, but one ought to have the legal right to refuse; refusal to provide the requested data, on its own, should not be considered evidence of guilt or probable cause to conduct a search.
