Either way you want to describe it, probable cause is the standard.

Dude. YOU said the arrest didn't have to be for probable cause (#208). I said it did.

A car not matching the description of the one you're looking for doesn't seem like proable cause to me. Does it to you?

Oops. proable = probable

No, I said this particular hold "may or may not" have been for probable cause.

If it was not for probable cause, there are legal ramifications. If it was for probable cause, then there aren't.

Again, this is what the plaintiff is saying - we do not have sworn testimony from the original witness documenting this.

The plaintiff's entire case - and the fat court award it may bring - hinge upon whether the police had probable cause. His attorney's entire goal is to cast doubt on the police having probable cause.
