B. Reasonable cause
C. Certiorari
D. Probable cause
any one sure of the answer
The 4th amendment says that probable cause must be established for a domestic search warrant.
The correct answer is D. Probable cause.
To understand why probable cause is the legal standard required for a domestic search warrant, we need to explain the concept of probable cause and how it applies to search warrants.
Probable cause is a legal standard that requires a reasonable belief that a crime has been committed or that evidence of a crime can be found in a specific location. It is a higher standard than mere suspicion or hunches. In order to obtain a search warrant, law enforcement officials must demonstrate to a judge or magistrate that they have probable cause.
To establish probable cause, law enforcement officials typically present a sworn affidavit or a written statement to the judge or magistrate. This affidavit must contain specific facts and information that support a reasonable belief that a crime has been committed or that evidence of a crime can be found in a particular place. The judge or magistrate then reviews the affidavit to determine if probable cause exists. If the judge or magistrate finds sufficient evidence to meet the probable cause standard, they will issue a search warrant.
So, under most domestic search warrants, the legal standard that must be established before a warrant will be issued is probable cause (option D).
