A:
You should first consult with a lawyer who can provide specific legal advice based on your situation. They can help you present all relevant documents, including the original court order and any motions you've filed, to strengthen your case.
Next, return to court and inform the judge about the police obtaining a warrant instead of complying with the original order. Request that the court enforce the original order and address the police's actions, possibly asking the judge to hold them in contempt for not following the directive.
Additionally, document all interactions with the police and any steps you've taken to retrieve your phone. This evidence can support your case and demonstrate the difficulties you've faced in getting your property back. Your lawyer can also assist in filing any necessary complaints with the police department to ensure your rights are protected and your property is returned as ordered.
