Is it an absolute rule of law that if you are served with a subpoena, you must comply?

I think you can go to jail for contempt of court instead. FWIW, I’m not a lawyer but I still manage to aggravate the legal so-called professon.

The state can file a motion to quash the subpoena duces tecum.

Well if you are an individual and you get subpoened you have to show but govt agencies are going to blow it off with privacy excuses unless the Court (Judge) issues the subpoena. I believe Orly sent them a subpoena a month or so ago and Fuddy blew it off. I’m sure they will do it again unless the judge steps in and orders it.

It all depends on how liberal you are.
