In reviewing a ruling on a motion to suppress evidence, what is the test for a search warrant application?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Mays, 67 Cal.App.4th 969, 79 Cal.Rptr.2d 519 (Cal. App. 1998):
In reviewing a ruling on a motion to suppress evidence, we defer to the trial court's findings of fact, whether express or implied, if those findings are supported by substantial evidence. We independently determine the relevant legal principles and apply those principles in evaluating the reasonableness of the search based on the facts as found by the trial court. (People v. Williams (1988) 45 Cal.3d 1268, 1301, 248 Cal.Rptr.
