I think a simpler point to make would be that no one should have special standing in the legal system except when issued a specific warrant. If one person can get this data without a warrant, then why would there be any kind of barrier against anyone else requesting this type of data for whichever individuals they feel like investigating/stalking/whatever? If there is a problem with that then someone has a responsibility to protect this data from EVERYONE who lacks a warrant.
