Or who it’s signed by?

There are lists of judges both at the State and federal levels that one can check.
Part of the “Protect yourself” packet should include examples of valid paperwork and current (dated) lists of judges and links for people to check for themselves that those people are still judges.

An even more useful method would be an embedded QR code on valid warrants which goes through an unimpeachable court-system domain name that cannot be subverted by the (republican or) criminal classes.
