Australian Federal Police and FBI nab underworld figures using encrypted app

I'm curious how this works constitutionally, in the US. Presumably the FBI did not have warrants for all the conversations they were listening in on, so it at least superficially seems like a fourth amendment violation.

They’re claiming not to have analyzed comms in the US:

Depends where they are prosecuted. In the US, we'll use the EU's copy of the data, vice versa (wish this was \s)
