    In order to obtain a valid search warrant, the FBI must have probable cause. If the FBI believes there is probable cause they will present it to a magistrate (a judge). The judge will then decide if there is sufficient information to issue a search warrant.

    Checks and balances.

        You didn’t have a link prior and Wikipedia isn’t a source to be trusted.

        It doesn’t matter because a judge signs off any raid. You are welcome to file a grievance with that judge if you don’t like their decisions.

          “Wikipedia isn’t a source to be trusted” is such a dipshit thing to say lmao. Your high school teacher, if you didn’t drop out before then, only told you that so you wouldn’t cite Wikipedia specifically as a source. Wikipedia itself is sourced and reviewed like any other encyclopedia, digital or not.
