This is simply not correct. Very few "cops" in the US can go to any kind of secret courts.

Also, what you're describing is still infinitely better than the European system! The cops get to issue the warrants themselves.

With any number of intelligence services in the USA I would not really be calmed by the prospect that an ordinary cop cannot do that.

What you are claiming about European cops is also not uniformly true. A German police officer cannot "just" self-issue a search warrant.

    Yes. The more worrying situation is that Hungary can just decide that their police officers can self-issue search warrants, and then send those around the EU in the form of EIOs.
