&quot;When does a subpoena become a burdensome amount of work?&quot; This is certainly an important part of the question. I don&#x27;t have a well-formed opinion on how to define limits.<p>&quot;Furthermore the government already forces companies to preform work. For example, paying taxes, providing insurance for employees, complying with industry regulations.&quot;
These are well-defined items with known elements about how to implement them. At this point, everyone knows that when they start a company, taxes, insurance, and regulations are part of the game.<p>But when law enforcement shows up making random demands, or convinces a court to issue an order for random demands, there must be limits. If there are no limits, there will be no end to random government requests.
