> I am against the use of warrants when there is nothing to search...

End to end encrypting doesn't magically cause metadata to disappear. IP addresses, the times messages were sent and received are still useful to law enforcement. In this instance, the court want the IP address of the accused so they can follow up with the ISP.

I prefer warrants written out for specific individuals to dragnet surveillance.
