What is the procedure for challenging a probable cause determination?

What will be an ideal response?


When a warrant is required, the probable cause determination is made by the magistrate charged with issuing the warrant; when a warrant is not used, the police officer makes the probable cause determination. The courts sometimes treat the probable cause requirement differently, depending on the conduct in which the police engage. When the police make an arrest, the probable cause determination concerns whether there is a reasonable belief that an offense has been committed and whether the suspect did, in fact, commit the offense. In the case of a search, however, the probable cause issue concerns whether there is a reasonable belief that the items to be seized are connected with criminal activity and whether they can be found in the place to be searched.
