Sounds like a violation of 18 U.S. Code § 242. Deprivation of rights under color of law - https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/242 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/242
and 18 U.S. Code § 241. Conspiracy against rights - https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/241 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/241

Sounds something like a subpoena, not a request; these are (in many systems) issued and signed by attorneys, not judges. Now, if there is a legal argument that the material is not subject to subpoena, in the US a motion to quash is available, and something similar may be available in other systems, but they aren’t mere requests, they are obligatory unless successfully quashed.
