Forget about FCC civil penalties: the LEA may start arresting managers responsible for refusal, on the charges of obstruction, due to interfering with an investigation.
People might talk about refusing to process a CALEA warrant.
IF/when they do receive such a lawful order: I am almost positive they will respond in some way other than a refusal to attempt to comply.
So that's probably why it's not likely we will hear of a refusal occuring, at least for a long time
Yes, "constructive" refusal is much harder to prove. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R. Ashworth Baylink jra@baylink.com Designer The Things I Think RFC 2100 Ashworth & Associates http://baylink.pitas.com 2000 Land Rover DII St Petersburg FL USA #natog +1 727 647 1274
