What is the meaning of the affidavit in the context of search warrants?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from United States v. Bailey, 458 F.2d 408 (9th Cir. 1972):

The affidavit should be interpreted in a common sense and realistic manner, United States v. Ventresca, 380 U.S. 102, 108-109, 85 S.Ct. 741, 13 L.Ed.2d 684 (1965), and the warrant should issue when a man of reasonable caution would be of the belief that the items to be seized were in a particular location. Brinegar v. United States, 338 U.S. 160, 69 S.Ct. 1302, 93 L.Ed. 1879 (1949).

I would affirm the judgment of the lower court.
