The application for the warrant should be denied because there is no showing that other investigative techniques will not work. The Fourth Amendment requires that a warrant be issued only upon a showing of probable cause, and that the warrant "particularly describe the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." Here, the application for the warrant does not satisfy the probable cause requirement, and it is unclear why other investigative techniques, such as surveillance or undercover operations, could not be used instead of a warrant. Additionally, the fact that organized crime is involved and that the investigation has been ongoing for some time does not necessarily justify the use of a warrant if other techniques could be equally effective. The fact that there is currently no danger to life is irrelevant to the issue of whether a warrant should be issued in this case.
