What is the test of probable cause?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Manley, 632 F.2d 978 (2nd Cir. 1980):

(W)hile the rule of probable cause does impose a requirement on police to act with more than mere suspicion of wrongdoing, the rule also gives police a permit to act with less than absolute certainty of guilt.

United States v. Webb, 623 F.2d 758, 761 (2d Cir. 1980) (emphasis in original).
