Why are warrants sealed?

Warrants are often sealed to protect the integrity of an ongoing investigation, prevent the potential destruction of evidence, and safeguard the privacy of individuals involved. Sealing a warrant helps to ensure that suspects do not become aware of the investigation prematurely, which could hinder law enforcement efforts. Additionally, sealing can protect sensitive information that may not be relevant to the public but is crucial for the legal process. Once the investigation concludes or certain conditions are met, the warrant may be unsealed for public access.
