California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Preciado, B226362 (Cal. App. 2012):

supra, 462 U.S. at p. 244, fn. 13.) We have noted that " '[a]lthough in a particular case it may not be easy to determine when an affidavit demonstrates the existence of probable cause, the resolution of doubtful or marginal cases in this area should be largely determined by the preference to be accorded to warrants.' " (People v. Superior Court (Corona) (1981) 30 Cal.3d 193, 203, quoting United States v. Ventresca (1965) 380 U.S. 102, 109.)
