Statutes in some jurisdictions may require officers to show or furnish a copy of the warrant to an occupant upon entry; however, this is not constitutionally required. The Supreme Court has twice rejected imposing any such steps under the Fourth Amendment. "Neither the Fourth Amendment nor the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure requires the executing officer to serve the warrant on the owner before commencing the search." (Groh v. Ramirez; U.S. v. Grubbs)
And yet the judge ordered the DOJ to provide the plaintiff with a copy of the warrant. I suspect that the judge was doing the DOJ a favor. Refusal to provide President Trump or his representative with a copy is bad optics. After all, the search easily could be construed as political posturing to influence the coming midterm elections.
However, IMHO, there is something even more important at play here.
Consider the following scene from the play “A Man for All Seasons” in which the enemies of Sir Thomas More have enlisted Richard Rich, an ambitious your courtier, to bear false witness against More. Rich appeals to More to help him achieve a position in the court of Henry VIII. More refuses, and his family attempts to persuade More to imprison Rich.
ALICE MORE: Arrest him!
SIR THOMAS MORE: For what?
ALICE: He's dangerous!
WILLIAM ROPER: For libel, he's a spy!
MARGARET MORE: Father, that man's bad.
MORE: There is no law against that.
ROPER: There is! God's law!
MORE: Then God can arrest him.
ALICE: While you talk, he's gone!
MORE: And go he should, if he were the Devil himself, until he broke the law!
ROPER: So! Now you'd give the Devil benefit of law!
MORE: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
ROPER: Yes! I'd cut down every law in England to do that!
MORE: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat?
This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast — man's laws, not God's — and if you cut them down — and you're just the man to do it — do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?
Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!
Is Trump “The Devil”? His enemies believe he is, and they are obviously willing to cut down every law to get him. They have lied (the Steele Dossier) and may well have cheated (2020 election). They have weaponized federal agencies including the IRS (decertify nonprofits who disagree with their political agenda) and the DOJ to conduct fishing expeditions in search of a crime. (Search warrants are only supposed to be used to procure evidence of a known crime.)
Again, IMHO, this search was just another desperate act by desperate people. Fearful people. They fear the wrath of the American voter as well they should. If it weren’t for the fact that the popular cultural and news media are flying cover for them, their fate would be certain. As it is, they may escape retribution if the propaganda is effective and a sufficient number of Americans remain duped.

Hey, whatever distracts everyone from Hillary (and her followers') federal indictments. Lol. You tend to get indicted when sufficient enough evidence is presented to solidify an accusation. ..like forensic audits for instance.
The constitution was ratified in 1788-89 by people who were hell-bent on plundering their way to power.
I know the police around here are not stupid enough nor corrupt enough to perform a warrantless search, much less a no-knock raid. If there is an investigation going on against me behind my back then the intent of the investigators (who investigate and clear themselves of any wrong doing) and I would see the warrant as them bringing the case to my attention. Otherwise, it is just a show of force and coercion with the goal to fish for information and you are in no way lawfully or morally obligated to help anyone in the investigation of yourself.
This perversion of due process in the rule of law is precisely what is wrong with this country.

"...heii bent on plundering their way to power." Do tell. Who all did that after ratifying the Constitution?

Sir,
With the past behavior from the FBI leadership, how can we trust them to not plant evidence they and the AG need to bring criminal charges against Mr. Trump stating they found same during the search?
Thank you,

Now you come to the punchline. The room where "the evidence" was expected to be found was sealed and secured with a padlock placed there by a previous FBI team. This team didn't bring the keys, so they had to cut the lock. What purpose would it have served to plant evidence since, by their own hand, they insured that no one had access to remove evidence let alone plant it.
