What is the test for "robable cause" in the context of search and seizure cases?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Dunn, 935 F.2d 1053 (9th Cir. 1991):
[P]robable cause is a flexible, common-sense standard. It merely requires that the facts available to the officer would "warrant a man of reasonable caution in the belief," Carroll v. United States, 267 U.S. 132, 162 [45 S.Ct. 280, 288, 69 L.Ed. 543] (1925), that certain items may be contraband or stolen property or useful as evidence of a crime; it does not demand any showing that such a belief be correct or more likely true than false.
