You’re saying the warrant was issued without supporting evidence because the affidavit was filed after the warrant was served?
I don’t know what the recording requirements in that court are. It may be that affidavits are submitted sealed and then not filed until after the warrant is served. That doesn’t seem out of the scope of ordinary to me.
I’m not sure it’s filing means the judge didn’t see it.
