A federal magistrate judge handed down an opinion this afternoon, In re Search Warrant No. 16-960-M-01 to Google, ordering Google to comply with a search warrant to produce foreign-stored emails. The magistrate judge disagrees with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit’s Microsoft Ireland warrant case, recently denied rehearing by an evenly divided court. Although the new decision is only a single opinion by a single magistrate judge, the decision shows that the Justice Department is asking judges outside the Second Circuit to reject the Second Circuit’s ruling — and that at least one judge has agreed.

It will all come down to specify, what is the data and how it is protected internationally. Laws are not flexible enough.
You could not come to a different country and just take the physical evidence (even when it is owned by the company).
Data is more peculiar, since you can simply copy/paste it from Asia to US within seconds an nobody would even know.
