They do have the right to say no if they want until you have an order. Providers can get fined a lot if they do not play by the rules and the fines care out of this world if they do not comply. We have good checks and balances. It has so much oversight it frustrates LEO's but it is the LAW.
I have other agents come in several times a week and ask for help and I have to say give me the order and we can roll. Out they go until it is signed...........

I'm glad to hear there are good checks and balances.
While I'd consider myself to be a "don't tread on me" type, rather than being concerned about civil liberties, I'm probably more concerned about monsterhunter's post mentioning "fax" and "report number on letterhead paper".
From an amateur that sounds very 1980's/1990's type of process.
No offense intended, but I'd feel more confident with all those checks and balances able to be performed with a number of clicks on a secure desktop.
Would that be due to the nature of the Republic and the thousands of local/state/fed organizations and IT systems?
