About probable cause

According to American criminal law, a police officer must have probable cause before being granted a warrant for the arrest of just a suspect or the issuance of a search warrant. Probable cause does not have a standard meaning or wording. One common definition, which derives from the 1964 U.S. Supreme Court decision Beck v. Ohio, asks whether the circumstances and facts that [an officer] knew about and had reasonably reliable information about at the time of [the suspect's] arrest [were] sufficient to justify a prudent [person] in having faith that [a suspect] had involved or was committing an offence. Additionally, it serves as the benchmark for indictments of criminals by grand juries.
