Usually subpoenas and search warrants come with a stamp, and more importantly records are returned to the court registrar, not handed over directly to the person claiming to be servicing a court order. The registrar would presumably say "wtf we didn't order this" and then the gig is up.
- chislobog 3y agoI don’t mean to engage in an argument here but that isn’t how emergency data requests or even most electronically issued compatible requests work in USA. edit: compliance, not compatible Most telecom providers have a compliance portal that only nominally engages with human supervision or legal departments. You fill out the form from your computer using the department credentials, typically on a semi hidden webpage belonging to the either the provider or serviced for the provider by a law enforcement program (like FBIs LEEP). Records are rarely returned to a court registrar for EDRs or any digital request, and in the case of a magistrate federal warrant they are frequently issued after the fact or by email. I suggest it would be trivial to get a real warrant, or real fake-warrant, by impersonating LE. I have personally seen warrant discussions and approvals between ADAs and small departments take place over personal gmail, if this tells you anything.
