TLDR If you access multiple Google accounts from the same device, and the cops know about one of the accounts and ask Google the right questions, Google will tell the cops about the other accounts.
The general lesson here is one we already know: if you have any sort of account you don't want linked to you, you can't ever access it from a device or network connection you use other accounts on.
Caveat usor.
