Its unfortunately fairly easy to obtain a warrant on a user with a Google account. You just need to justify and articulate throughout each of the three phases. Each phase requires a subsequent warrant, which grants more specific data as you go higher.
IE - Phase 1 gives you a list of phone numbers in a given area. As you progress higher, the information gets more specific down to the user themselves being placed in the area.
Its generally used for law enforcement purposes, but obviously for J6 its political.
