its easy to get this stuff. You can just pay some anonymous person on Fiverr that has access.

Nobody should have access to this without a warrant, its a huge invasion of privacy.

Warrants aren't given out to several types of people with a legitimate reason to need the access.

A better alternative is to have strict recording and auditing of requests and legal accountability for abusing the access (such as renting it out on fiverr).
