In my country you wouldn’t even be able to get a warrant for this when it’s about domestic violence.
Maybe only when there’s actual threats that the victim has removed from their phone, which are likely to still exist on the senders phone. But even that is a stretch and a warrant for the data on social media services is far more likely.
