Badges should come with a QR code, linked to a government database, profiling official officers. Warrants should also get a QR code, with a justice's signature, reasoning, and a short list of what activities are permitted by the warrant. The judicial branch controls their own database for the warrants and justices, while the state or federal governments have their own databases for their respective officers.
Also, should these conceptual reforms happen, people should be able to immediately send a copy of the presented warrant and badges to their lawyers and agencies via a QR snapshot.
Judges should be assigned RSA keys in a hardware module, and their public key available to everyone.
Then we build a FOSS app downloading all the Public Keys of every judge, then they would sign warrants with their RSA key.
A simple scan should also check the digital signature, and confirm its validity.
Also there should be 3 hardware modules on the same keychain, each marked with a random number that the judge remembers. If they get kidnapped, they can use either of the 2 duress keys that would signal the warrants are illegitimate and automatically revoke the real key.
