I don't know Finnish law, but would the police need a warrant for a
confession that someone offered to them? Do they need a warrant to even
ask 'Have you seen this person'? Here, they can ask but there is no
legal requirement to answer. And if Person A consents to a search of
something they possess then the evidence is valid in court without a
warrant, even if the evidence is gathered from the posessions of Person
A but later used against Person B.

The law does go above the license agreement, but not always in a way
that is helpful to the end user.
