Is there a fair probability that evidence described in a search warrant will be found in the identified places?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Cohen, H043490 (Cal. App. 2018):

Illinois v. Gates (1983) 462 U.S. 213, 238 [there must be a fair probability that the evidence described in the warrant will be found in the identified places].) We will therefore uphold the magistrate's decision to issue the search warrant and find no error in denying the motions to quash and suppress.
