The following excerpt is from U.S.A v. Traylor, No. 09-4082-cr (2nd Cir. 2010):
location signaled his access to and control over the entirety of the premises. Together, these circumstances supported at least a reasonable probability that Traylor was involved in a scheme to traffic drugs at the location. See Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213, 231 (1983) (holding that probable cause focuses on "probabilities" not "hard certainties"); Texas v. Brown, 460 U.S. 730, 742 (1983) (stating that probable cause does not demand that good faith belief be "more likely true than false").
