> If your company has data that the police want and they can get a warrant, you have no choice but to give it to them.

They can fight the warrant, if you don't at least object to it then "giving the keys away" is not an incorrect characterization.

In court? Not really. These warrants are on solid ground from a legal standpoint. To the point that fighting them could be a sanction-able kind of grandstanding.

This is my thought also. So they're only holding the keys to prevent anyone from whining about lost data, they don't actually want to be responsible.
