They wouldn't do that though, the evidence would be illegally obtained and couldn't be used in court. Then any evidence they obtain from the original illegal evidence would become "fruit of the poisonous tree" and would also be excluded from use in trial.
The police need a court order to protect themselves and their case regardless of whether the bank will offer evidence without it.
A police officer, FBI/IRS/DEA agent has complete authority in the course of their investigation to gather information legally -- requesting the information from a local or foreign bank by showing their badge or faxing a letter to the bank is completely legal as it would be questioning a witness and that witness reveals information that the police can use.
What would be illegal is if they lied to the bank in order to obtain the information for example claiming they believed the account was used to fund terrorism when it was a fraud case. Of course if they did this over the phone there would be no record of what they told the agents.
The point is the banks talks about "banking secrecy" and then has this statement which undermines the very ideals of banking secrecy.

I cant believe how dense these banks are. I could be a client earning them money but instead they turn me down and cant even specify a reason. And why cant any of the banks advertise themselves properly it's simply ridiculous.
I can see why some banks become large quickly as the competition seems to be lacking. Someone needs to make a bank for affiliates, theres enough of us.

There are banks that welcome people. You need to decide if you are more interested in who points you in the direction of the bank or in getting a bank account.

What exactly did you tell them about the source of your funds ? ( affiliate income from clickbank and the likes ?, paypal ?)
What country are you located ?
Remember Swissquote, although technically a bank, does not operate like a bank. Their business is brokerage. If they think you just want to use the account for sending and receiving money, they won't open the account.
We can do referrals by mail without bank references to proper banks in European Union etc where you can clear affiliate checks and the like, but our minimum fee is $750 paid up-front. For that you get a serious service.
If you don't want to spend so much then I recommend you read Q Wealth Report Offshore Banking Guide - they have good information on how to do it yourself.
I've been scouting the forums for a while now and I have been trying to open a bank account for much longer. For whatever reason I cant get a bank reference. I have a local bank account but I need an offshore bank account so that I can pay myself my affiliate earnings. The local bank refuses to do anything involving the internet.
Anyway, since I have seen no list like this, I would like a list of banks that require no bank references. I don't care about privacy at all since I am not evading taxes.
I all ready paid a scammer on here $500 to open me a bank account and all he did was give me a link to Yesilada bank. I highly recommend that people who are thinking of using this bank reconsider. Half of the links on the banks website don't work. Even with this red flag I wasted the time and money to send them the documents they needed to open the bank account. Once the account was opened I contacted them asking for my account info including the swift code so that I could send myself money and they never got back to me after 2 weeks. (another red flag) I really don't trust them and they operate like a mickey mouse operation.
The only other legit bank I found was swissquote.ch I sent in my application, they then sent me a document request for source of funds, I sent it to them and never heard back.
What are the alternatives. The really sick thing is I am doing nothing dishonest here at all and this is quite frustrating.
Please no scammers asking me for a thousand dollars so they can email me a link.
Know the right source can get yourself a bank reference.

That is obviously what he is trying to do, however most of the banks require a professional reference letter -- of course there are always banks like Yesilada or Rietumu that will open an account without one.
All Cyprus banks, Panama Banks, Belize Banks require a professional reference letter we have seen. Our top bank in Liechtenstein requires a reference.
Our No-Name debit cards do not require a reference letter and can be opened with scans. Funds are sent to a Corporation name so it is 100% anonymous.
As an update, I discovered that banks in Seychelles do not require any type of reference. I have applied there and will let you know what they say. Trying two banks to hedge my bets.
