Search warrant are based upon probable cause and reasonable suspicion
True or false
False.
Search warrants are based upon probable cause, not reasonable suspicion. Probable cause is a higher standard of proof than reasonable suspicion and requires that law enforcement officers have enough facts or evidence to make it reasonably probable that a crime has occurred and that the items connected to the crime are likely to be found in the place specified by the warrant.
Reasonable suspicion, on the other hand, is a lower standard that is used in different contexts, such as when police are making stops or detentions short of arrest. It allows police to conduct a brief investigation if they have a reasonable basis to believe that criminal activity may be afoot.
In summary, search warrants require probable cause, not reasonable suspicion.
