Most sre/DevOps/system admin folks have very weak morals and are happy to just hand over data to the police without bothering to do a legal review or challenge. If you go to Reddit r/sysadmin and take a look at the stories, sharing data with law enforcement and three letter agencies is just Friday for them. The attitude is completely different from HN and there's very little institutional resistance to customer data requests by authorities.
