today i woke up and randomly checked my email and saw an email from “reddit legal support” with an attachment of a warrant on the bottom. it has been signed by a police officer in my town and my psychiatrist(??) I don’t understand what the point of this is and under the part where it says
“(police officer in my towns name) that there is probable cause for believing All basic subscriber information to include username/subscriber identity, IP Logs, email addresses, phone numbers; Other non-content records about the user or the users conduct on Reddit to include user preferences and communication headers; content of communications (public) to include posts, comments and other information regarding the substance of the user’s publicly available communications; content of communications (non-public) to include non-public messages and communications between users, information about the users votes, posts, comments and other information regarding the substance of the users communications
for the timeframe of 12:00:00
AM Eastern Standard Time, February 1%, 2025, through 11:59:59 PM Eastern Standard Time, March 23d, 2025.”
what? what does this even mean?? there’s reason to believe i deleted the account? what am i supposed to do with this? are police going to come to my house?? i’m so confused.

That definitely sounds confusing and stressful, but take a deep breath getting a search warrant doesn’t automatically mean you’re in trouble. It could be part of a broader investigation involving someone else, and your account might just be connected in some way. You should reach out to a legal professional to go over the warrant and get proper advice. Don’t panic, but definitely don’t ignore it.
Sounds like a scam. At the bottom does it have a signature of a judge and what court it was filed in? A warrant means nothing if it’s not signed by a judge. The officers signature is irrelevant. Usually the officer will send the warrant to the website and then the website will notify you that your information is being seized by law enforcement.
