>>It can take as little as 15 minutes to obtain a search warrant. You might want to come up with a different plan.
That’s fine. Let the judge justify the criminal charges associated with the warrant.
There were no charges, civil or criminal.
No trial.
As far as a hearing before a Judge, I suspect some judge signed off on this confiscation.
Due process does not exist here.
It would disgust you to know how easy that is to do.
Good luck.
