Probable Cause Deep Dive with Anthony Bandiero
Probable cause is the level of evidence that police officers need to justify their actions. It means that they have a reasonable basis to believe that a crime has been committed, is being committed, or is about to be committed, and that the person they are targeting is involved in some way.
Probable cause is not a fixed or precise concept. It depends on the facts and circumstances of each situation. Courts have to decide on a case-by-case basis whether probable cause existed at the time of the police action. Some questions that this podcast will answer is:
What seminal US Supreme Court cases define PC?
How should police articulate PC in their reports?
How can police establish PCs during criminal investigations?
