> So why bring Trump into a Law 101 topic?
Because it was a recent, high profile example of a search warrant being executed against a residence prior to the indictment of a suspect. Though I should have anticipated that some people would struggle to decouple their strong feelings about the former president from the specific point I was trying to make.

It’s not about the “level of scrutiny” so much as the risk to the officers executing the search. If you’re investigating people for committing organized and premeditated acts of violence motivated by opposition to law enforcement, it’s reasonable to presume that those suspects pose a high level of danger to law enforcement.
