MLAT based enforcement requests can be fast.

1. A different agency than the police might hold the MLAT, and not all
members of the police might be aware of the MLAT or how best to use it
(especially junior to midlevel officers tasked with investigating cases)

2. Dual criminality is something that needs to be kept in mind (so someone
from Thai law enforcement chasing after Youtube for an insulting video about
their king might not get much luck out of the MLAT, while another law
enforcement officer looking for leads on a scam artist running an online
pyramid scheme, say, might have far better results)
