What is the reliability requirement in a search warrant application?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Box, 14 Cal.App.4th 177, 17 Cal.Rptr.2d 504 (Cal. App. 1993):
[14 Cal.App.4th 184] Instead, the reliability requirement seeks to establish some likelihood that the witness will testify at a subsequent evidentiary hearing in a manner that impeaches the warrant affidavit. In particular, the proof offered must reliably challenge the truthfulness of the affiant, not that of the informant. (People v. Sandlin, supra, 230 Cal.App.3d at p. 1317, 281 Cal.Rptr. 702.)
