Slim to no chance that a US telecom actually bothers to call up the court and verify an order with the clerk except for orders that are unusual (say: overly broad in scope, or targeting a recognizable name such as a politician or celebrity). My guess is that at best they look at the fax caller ID and/or email headers and that's that.
Their position is likely "it looked like it came from a cop, not our problem if the cop is forging court orders."

- heavyset_go 5y agoThen make it their problem with regulators or legislation. KYC is law of the land when dealing with private individuals, same logic should apply to verifying court orders or law enforcement requests.
