Sure but this is the German police and more generally nation states, not only they can, they don't even need to they just ask

While the rule of law in Germany is much worse than most people think, it is not so bad as you assume. I doubt that Hetzner would give in to a police request. A court order, yes. But not to a police request. This does not mean, the police won't try it: https://www.dw.com/de/e-mail-firma-kritisiert-ermittler/a-18...

Unfortunately can't find the original post. Every idiot police officer thought he has a right to just email them to handle over data :-)
