Define legally operating? Is a business which may be legal under state law,
but perhaps not under Federal law (and depending upon who listens to the
Attorney General of the United States) legally operating?

LEO's already have the tools necessary to do their jobs. They can use
subpoenas, search warrants, civil suits or even treaties to get information
that they are legally entitled to. Widening this scope through restricting
how we use numbers is a non-starter.

Trying to harden policy to soften the legal process required is a job
better left to Congress.
