Question
what is the role of a judge in the process of obtaining a search warrant?
to determine the guilt or innocence of the suspect
to decide if evidence justified further searching
to supervise the police officers during the search
A judge's role in the search warrant process is to assess if there is probable cause—meaning if the presented evidence reasonably justifies a search to find evidence of a crime. Determining guilt/innocence happens at trial, and supervising the search is not part of the warrant approval role.
