Suppose the coffee shop had a security camera outside, facing the porn store down the street, but which conveniently covered the entire street, including a doctor's office, abortion clinic, and Mosque (yes, it's a busy street). Suppose no crime was committed on that street but the government wanted to pass a law making every porn store have a bouncer at the front door to keep kids from entering. Would it be unreasonable for the coffee shop to hand over a week's worth of tapes for the doctor's office, abortion clinic, and Mosque so the government could see if any kids went into the shop?

Suppose a crime was committed on that street, and the police asked the coffee shop for a copy of the tape from a certain day. Would it be so unreasonable for them to comply?
