What is the test for a judge's probable cause determination?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from United States v. Kurniawan, No. 14-2928-cr (2nd Cir. 2015):

2. See United States v. Martin, 426 F.3d 68, 74 (2d Cir. 2005) ("A judge's probable-cause determination is not overly strict. Presented with a warrant application, the judge must simply make a practical, common-sense decision whether, given all the circumstances set forth in the affidavit before him, including the veracity and basis of knowledge of persons supplying hearsay information, there is a fair probability that contraband or evidence of a crime will be found in a particular place." (internal quotation marks and alterations omitted)).
