What is the test for probable cause in a search warrant application?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Martinez v. City of Schenectady, 115 F.3d 111 (2nd Cir. 1997):

Normally, the issuance of a search warrant (which depends, of course, on a finding of probable cause) creates a presumption that it was objectively reasonable for the officers to believe that the search was supported by probable cause. Golino v. City of New Haven, 950 F.2d 864, 870 (2d Cir.1991) (citing United States v. Ventresca, 380 U.S. 102, 109, 85 S.Ct. 741, 746, 13 L.Ed.2d 684 (1965)).
