Just require police presence. Pretty easy to get around. Use third party aka police to verify validity. The firm involved in this should have its board thrown in jail (vw and their contractor). Holding investigative information related to a crime hostage to a fee is criminal enough. Board members and managing directors should cop jail time. Basically anyone from the point of command who said "no! pay up" north. jailtime. But provisions protecting consumers from companies is weak so unlikely to happen.
