the whole point of ADP is that they cannot provide access

Yes, the parent commenter missed the part where Apple cannot see the encrypted content when ADP is used.

But Apple could say, you have 45 days to remove it or we will delete it, then you have to resync your data.

I'm not suggesting Apple should be able to see the content, I'm saying the Police should be able to, when they have a valid court order issued in accordance with the legislation.

For example, A 'Personal Recovery Key' could be recorded in a police database. To gain access to 'encrypted' data from Apple, a court order is needed, once they have the encrypted data, they can unencrypt it using the key only they hold.

There's lots of ways to skin a cat.
