"Ninety-eight percent of warrant reviews eventually result in an approval, and over 93% are approved on first submission. Further, we find that the median time for review is only three minutes, and that one out of every ten warrants is opened, reviewed, and approved in sixty seconds or less. [1]"

Mind you, this data only represents the state of Utah's electronic "e-Warrant" system. It would not surprise me is results were not too different across other states.

FISA warrants were even more incredible, with well below 1% rejection rates.

And then hilariously people would say that this is just evidence that the warrants are all written extremely carefully and conservatively.
