Every email service provider should and would comply with the law.
The problem is that in Australia a warrant to access the email accounts is issued by a member of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, not by a judge. From what I was able to understand it's more easy to obtain such a warrant and with less legal control.
My personal oppinion is that if a corrupt police officer needs a warrant, it would be more easy for him to bribe a member of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal than it was to bribe a judge.
I am not involved in any criminal activities, but I am afraid of corruption.
About 15 years ago I dated a girl that I met at a party. I didn't told her where I live. And one sunday evening she rang at my door. I asked her where did she get my address, and she told me that a friend of her works at the mobile phone company I was using and she looked up my address using my phone number. This is how things could happen if personal information is easy to access.
