How have the courts interpreted the facts in a search warrant application?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Blair, 895 F.2d 1418 (9th Cir. 1990):

None of this is material to a finding of probable cause. Further, the troopers were found to be credible by the trial court. In fact, even if the affidavit was lacking in probable cause or otherwise deficient, i.e., due to a negligent misstatement by the troopers, the record indicates that the troopers acted in good faith and reasonably relied on the validity of the warrant. See United States v. Leon, 468 U.S. 897 (1984). Therefore, the district court did not err in refusing to suppress the evidence obtained pursuant to the search warrant.
