How does the showing of probable cause differ for an arrest warrant versus a search warrant?

What will be an ideal response?


Showing of Probable Cause in an Arrest Warrant
It is not difficult for an officer to show probable cause for the issuance of an arrest warrant. The officer is not required to show probable cause that the suspect will be found at a particular location. All that is necessary is for the officer to show that the person sought may have committed the crime in question.

Showing of Probable Cause in a Search Warrant
The showing of probable cause for a search warrant is twofold. First, the officer applying for the search warrant must show probable cause that the items to be seized are connected with criminal activity. Second, the officer must show probable cause that the items to be seized are in the location to be searched. Note that this second requirement does not apply to an arrest warrant
