They just demand the data per warrant and if you don’t deliver you go to jail for obstruction of justice

  Is that true? I'm not a lawyer but AFAIU, you don't have to provide incriminating evidence against yourself?

    It’s more or less the dictionary definition of ‘subpoena’ eg. [0]: > under penalty (you shall bring with you) [0]: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/subpoena%20duces%20tecum https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/subpoena%20duces%...

    The IT guys aren’t the ones under investigation.

  How does that work if it's a cloud system and you're denied access because the IT admin from another continent locked you out? Are you going to keep the executive around as a hostage in hopes of getting them to release the files?

    yes? that's why countries require human presence
  • croes 2y ago
    Why should the IT guy lock you out if you want to access your data?
    • gruez 2y ago
      Because you hit a kill switch hours earlier, or (more innocently) sent a slack message to your CISO that some "scary men" showed up at your doors.

        And how do you explain the police why the IT guy does that? It’s pretty obvious to them and would be counted as obstruction of evidence
