   What Is Probable Cause?

   Probable cause    
   In United States criminal law, probable cause is the standard by which police   
   authorities have reason to obtain a warrant for the arrest of a suspected   
   criminal. The standard also applies to personal or property searches.    
      
   Probable cause, in conjunction with a preponderance of the evidence, also   
   refers to the standard by which a grand jury believes that a crime has been   
   committed. The term comes from the Fourth Amendment of the United States   
   Constitution:    
      
   The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and   
   effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated,   
   and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or   
   affirmation, and    
   particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to   
   be seized.    
   "Probable" in this case may relate to statistical probability or to a general   
   standard of common behavior and customs. The context of the word "probable"   
   here is not exclusive to community standards and does not predate statistics,   
   as some have suggested.
