It's not the ambiguous headline that got my attention; it's this, in the body of the article:
WRAL reporter Tyler Dukes found four investigations in 2017 where *police issued these uniquely extensive warrants*...
That wording is absolutely clear to anybody who read the body of the article. It may be factually incorrect, but the writer clearly claims that the police issued the warrants.
There also is no mention anywhere of any judicial participation at all.
- dragonwriter 9y agoAh, good point; I missed that on a fast pass through the article. I have seen that formulation referring to the warrant process in which police draft the warrant and support it and judges sign off on it and then the police execute the warrant; it’s legally incorrect but arguably deeply accurate in terms of the practical process of who is crafting the details of the warrant and then actually demanding compliance with them.
