Off the leash
Seems to me that the curious case of the independent consultant being served a voluntary warrant is because, under the normal course of events, they would not normally be allowed to undertake such interference. It is a way of saying, "OK, boys and girls, you are off the leash." The telco itself needs stronger legal armtwisting, as it has more obligations to its users, so gets a compulsory one.
