It's the courts that need to take notice and ask for definitive proof before offering such a warrant

Although if
Sky & PlusNet now say that they will start challenging the NPO requests in court, ACS & co. may not even bother going after them... That's the case with TalkTalk, TalkTalk has said it will challenge any request for an NPO, & consequently it's always left out...(perhaps these law firms don't want their methods scrutinised
)
[previously, ISPs have always capitulated when the law firms have gone to court for an NPO]
