As they should, unless they believe law enforcement is acting outside of their authority or the government in their opinion is illegitimate (not, "I don't like the regime") or foreign to their resident jurisdiction. Else, they are criminals.
- Dylan16807 4y ago> unless they believe law enforcement is acting outside of their authority Not just "acting outside their authority". Law enforcement can ask for a lot of things where the answer can be no. There are lots of cases where caving is optional, and it's better when companies don't cave. Responding to court orders is different from generically responding to law enforcement. Also civil disobedience is a legitimate response to being forced to log browsing activity. > or foreign to their resident jurisdiction Which they are.
- Herbstluft 4y agoLaw enforcement personnel are not the law. The police makes "unlawful" requests and demands all the time, it's common for investigations. The desire to not cooperate unless forced to (by law) does not make you a criminal, that should be perfectly clear. "No" is a fine and acceptable answer to many cooperation requests by law enforcement.
