No, warrants authorize searches/seizures.

I'm not agreeing with the practice, I just explained it, how pieces of evidence (and testimony) can legally establish that there's evidence that the defendant has ways to produce.




what you're suggesting is even worse - a court order to force someone to divulge some information under threat of jail. Unauthorized searches are an violation of rights but what you're suggesting is another level and on the same authority.

I'm not "suggesting". It's the current reality. Numerous articles over the past years demonstrated it. (This was already linked here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._Beatty_Chadwick )
