If you want to start trying to project human legality into the computing world, you're going to have a really, really bad time. Human legal logic and digital logic do not at all mix.
Things get even hairier with things like a hard disk full of a nation state's classified info, where a root terminal has been left open.
The computer will not argue a lick about producing those contents, but I assure you, someone else will most vigorously object.
And by CFAA, and everything else under the sun, Law Enforcement wants extra-priviliged access reserved for themselves which no inherent property of digital logic or programming need guarantee.
Practically implementing such programs/filesystems/systems-as-a-whole is an exercise left to the reader. As is the consequences of doing so in a particularly authoritarian leaning society at the moment.
