18. Because the 4th Amendment says --

Fourth Amendment

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

They had agents go there several times in the spring before the August seizure and that was so they could basically determine the layout of the facility and start to compile a list of rooms and what was presumably in them. They got that info after interviewing the lawyers and some employees and that was used to develop the search and seizure warrant.

If this hadn't been done carefully, they could have evidence ruled inadmissable in court.

When people see all these cops manufacturing reasons to search a vehicle, if the ducks weren't in a row, you never hear about the aftermath in the news when their case gets thrown out due to the search/seizure having no plausible "probable cause" and the warrant having all kinds of defects.
