What are the three ways whereby probable cause is established? How do they differ?

What will be an ideal response?


The three ways whereby probable cause is established are: (1) through an officer's
own knowledge of particular facts and circumstances, (2) through information given
by a reliable third person, and (3) through information plus corroboration by the
officer. They differ in that the third way is the most reliable because it has the
greatest amount of information from more than one source. The second way
depends on the reliability of the third person.
