Marion Record newspaper raid: the sworn affidavit for the search warrant is essentially just the text of the search warrant

An affidavit is usually a chronological summary of the facts that establish the probable cause for the search warrant. In this case, the "affidavit" is essentially just the text of the search warrant. It has a small preamble added to it, stating that the police chief has probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. But there are absolutely no facts listed that establish probable cause.
