What is the meaning of the phrase "probable cause" and "reasonable grounds"?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Butler v. United States, 273 F.2d 436 (9th Cir. 1959):
5 The two phrases "probable cause" and "reasonable grounds" are substantial equivalents. See note 3, Draper v. United States, supra, 358 U.S. at page 310, 79 S.Ct. at page 331. This disposes of appellee's suggestion made upon oral argument that "reasonable grounds" is something less than "probable cause."
