It&#8217;s likely that it&#8217;ll be doing this to help recoup the costs of manpower and resources diverted towards fulfilling law enforcement requests.<\/p>\n<p>A former Google lawyer quoted in the report, Al Gidari, explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>None of the services were designed with exfiltrating data for law enforcement in mind.<\/p>\n<p>The actual costs of doing wiretaps and responding to search warrants is high, and when you pass those costs on to the government, it deters from excessive surveillance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In cases such as child safety investigation and life-threatening emergencies, Google states that it would not request reimbursement.<\/p>\n<p>Some law enforcement agencies are concerned that Google charging for data could lead to other smaller companies doing the same, leading to small-town police departments having to budget for their data requests and prioritize cases based on importance.<\/p>\n<p>For some departments, that&#8217;s not a concern. Mark Bruley, a deputy police chief in Minnesota told the <em>Times<\/em> as much. &#8220;We are only using these warrants on major crimes, and their fees seem reasonable,&#8221; he said.
