Administrative subpoena

Okay kiddo, let's talk about something called an "administrative subpoena". An administrative subpoena is like a piece of paper that says someone in charge wants information. It's kind of like when Mommy or Daddy ask for information about who made a mess in the living room.

So, let's say the government wants to get some information about something or someone. They can use an administrative subpoena to ask someone who might have that information to give it to them. This could be many different people, like a company that has records, a doctor who has medical records, or a school that has attendance records.

The important thing to remember is that the person who gets the administrative subpoena has to follow it and give the information. If they don't, they could get in trouble. Just like if you don't follow Mommy or Daddy's rules, you could get in trouble too.

Overall, an administrative subpoena is a way for the government to get information they need for different reasons.
