California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Von Villas, 11 Cal.App.4th 175, 15 Cal.Rptr.2d 112 (Cal. App. 1992):
The affidavit provided the magistrate with a "substantial basis" for finding probable cause. (See People v. Schilling (1987) 188 Cal.App.3d 1021, 233 Cal.Rptr. 744.) The trial judge properly held that the magistrate did not act in bad faith when he issued the warrant based upon the facts contained in the affidavit.
