Yeah, that part of the story is really odd. Was the pizza order necessary as a pretext for the house search, maybe? Or did it just serve as a catchy journalist

- junto 11y agoYou'd imagine that a judge would need a lot more evidence than "a large pizza order" before granting such an authorisation. He's about to send a bunch of armed police into a family house with children inside. It could have been a children's birthday party. More likely it is done kind of parallel construction or protecting an informant.
