I’m guessing there’s some obvious telltale that there’s a warrant (signed/stamped by judge, possibly on court letterhead instead of police letterhead).

Also possible to separate the streams of input. Maybe can’t force it, but having a “warrants” stream that gets priority triage and another for “other” that works a lot slower because it’s mostly garbage. Can create a shit list for those that abuse the “warrants” stream.

Doesn't sound very safe to shitlist NYPD.

Which seems to be what NYPD are attempting to leverage.

I'm not, at least in the extent I've participated in subpoena response and had conversations with an employer's counsel in that connection.

If you're b2c and past a certain point of scale, it just becomes an overhead, a bit of a pain but no big deal. That's if you respond promptly and completely - any company that screws around with something credibly subpoena-shaped is taking a dangerous risk; that's a great way to draw the interest of courts ("contempt of"), and SDNY in particular is known for being quite proddy.
