I doubt the public is aware of the very large number of different electronic requests for their information, and how many can be faked, from dmca takedowns to these fake emergency data requests to requests from the feds for your email etc in the name of 'national security'. Somehow we need to get this out there better, and get more lawmakers aware. It's doubtful in my lifetime that the addiction of law enforcement to these easy electronic requests will cease. The fact that such requests can't really be authenticated reliably without a human in the loop (because as Krebs says, you can just create real email accounts on the police dept email server) and there are so many of them is terrifying. You could put our entire society (in the us) into chaos just be pushing this more and more until our law enforcement is just overwhelmed. If we were in a war with Russia or China, why wouldn't they do that?
