This guy’s friend died of an overdose and that was enough justification to track him?

That seems like way too low of a bar.

As someone who has read a fair number of granted search warrants, I can attest to the fact that 100% had obvious technical, logical, or factual errors (under penalty of perjury) that were granted by the judge anyway.

The bar/basis to successfully receive a search warrant is hilaribad. It's pretty close to a rubber stamp. The courts just believe whatever crap the cops spew out.
