Yep.  And I'd suspect that Google has more resources/leverage to make a
stink or drag-feet than either almost any individual or most [relatively
speaking] small companies.  If investigators have a court order to
acquire evidence they do not *need* to do so nicely,  they can just rip
your servers out of the rack and cart them away - and then it may be a
very long time until you see that hardware again.

Yep, never trust the wire.
