This is a problem that can be solved with existing solutions like MFA. Provide a one time use code with each “emergency search warrant” to sign off on it. The company can then verify this one time use code, invalidate it, and provide the necessary information. Any further requests using that same code will get denied and the LEO account will be flagged for review.
Still scary that information is given to LEOs without a proper warrant. I think in these emergency cases should notify the individual(s) their information is accessed/requested via quasi-legal channels. This would allow users to take proactive measures as well.
