The LEAs might be flexible in how they are willing to take the data.
But it would be a very dangerous proposition indeed to outright
'refuse';   I am sure most organizations would be exhausting   every
reasonable course to satisfy the requirements of the order.

Forget about FCC civil  penalties:  the LEA may start arresting
managers responsible for refusal,  on the charges of obstruction,  due
to interfering with an investigation.

People might talk about refusing to process  a CALEA warrant.

IF/when they do receive such a lawful order:   I am almost positive
they  will respond in some way other  than a refusal to attempt to
comply.


So that's probably why it's not likely we will hear of a refusal
occuring, at least for a long time
