a judge approves them. Evidence is required tho
Another View: (in the US) Evidence is not necessary to apply for, or receive, a search warrant. Only a signed, sworn affidavit that spells out the probable cause for the issuance of the warrant is necessary.
In a "consent search," the person being searched authorizes their own search. A United States Citizen NEVER has to consent to a search of their person or property (that includes your car). In addition, once a person has authorized a search, they can revoke their authorization or limit it at any time. There are certain situations, however, where you will be prevented from doing something for refusing to submit to a search, such as enter an airport, or other secured building or facility. There are also situations in which a police officer will not need consent to search you or your property. If a police officer has probable cause to believe that you have committed a crime, they do not need your permission to search you or your property. If a police officer has a warrant, they do not need permission to search you or your property. But in every day situations, a police officer has no authority whatsoever to search you or your property without your implied or expressed consent.
In criminal cases - only sworn law enforcement. In public health and safety matters - certain officers of the Health or Fire Departments may also have that authority.
Someone with state authorized judicial authority in the jurisdiction in question. This could vary from state-to-state and could be a Judge, a Magistrate, a Justice of The Peace - etc.
