Great, then get a warrant.

The entire reason this story exists is because people are surprised and - rightfully - upset that law enforcement is able to access this information without one.

I agree with my whole heart. This is the meat and bone of the discussion.

And an important side note: The assertions "can't access without a warrant" and "can't access at all" need to be clearly distinct at all times. Once the 1st gets translated as the 2nd, the good faith portion of this discussion is lost.
