What is the finding that the affidavit provided probable cause for issuance of a search warrant?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Blashaw, 2d Crim. No. B263638 (Cal. App. 2016):

We also agree with the court's finding that the affidavit provided probable cause for issuance of the warrant. Appellant's claim to the contrary is based solely on the unsealed portion of the affidavit. Aside from the fact that the sealed affidavit contains additional evidence of probable cause, the information produced to appellant is sufficient by itself to make the requisite showing. Appellant's claim to the contrary downplays this information and ignores the reasonable inferences of guilt that arise therefrom. Probable cause for a search warrant "exists when the information on which the warrant is based is such that a reasonable person would believe that what is being sought will be found in the location to be searched. [Citation.]" (People v. Stanley (1999) 72 Cal.App.4th 1547, 1554.) The information at issue here amply supports such a finding.

The judgment is affirmed.
