Wow, unreal that she could approve such a warrant. Even in the absence of a federal statute it seems like a crazy step to take.

Not that surprising. Small Town Things. I'm sure there are backwoods places in the USA where the owner of the used car dealership, the mayor, the judge, and police chief are all immediate family. A thing is only illegal if it's enforced.

My local magistrate is a former cop who lacks even a paralegal degree.
