Interesting privacy stance in these documents. Some requests the AFP gets the IP address/phone number of stolen data just by sending request from a government email address. But newer requests from August/September 2014 say "While we're happy to support law enforcement, we're also committed to protect the privacy of our customers" (pg 67) and "For iCloud subscriber information and IP logs request, please provide a search warrant or Court order or similar for Apple to disclose this information" (pg 91)
