The easiest obtained search warrants will be on the citizen, not the criminal.
More gaslighting…
Making people think the police can just go rouge & serve search warrants whenever they like…
It’s always been the policy for the SAO to review applications for a search warrant before its brought before a judge for his/her approval…
Claiming. his is a “new” policy is just more self aggrandizing…
