There was no probable cause. There was the word of someone who had no reason to tell the truth about anything and who is a liar by nature. Burglars are liars by nature. They have to be in order to ply their trades.
Yes, probable cause has to be probable cause to a hypothetical “reasonable person”. No reasonable person would believe the word of a meth addict without some outside confirmation, so that doesn’t qualify as probable cause.
Goes to my point. What the hell was the issuer thinking?? Should have told the requesting officers to pound sand
