Maybe I'm not reading it correctly, and it is a long document, but the standard includes things like sections 9.6.5, about minimizing PII, and 9.6.6, about using volatile storage on exit nodes (I.e. RAM only so nothing is retained on disk). And lots of other good things like using a memory safe language and software should have security updates. Let me know if I'm missing something, but I found nothing in there about interaction with law enforcement agencies.
