    Rubber stamping search warrants is how it’s done though. If every case becomes high profile then things might change but I have no faith.

      High profile stories like these at least send a warning to other judges that they take a risk when they blanket approve things without due diligence.

      I’d hope this is a sign for things to change, but I don’t know how likely.
