Probable cause must exist for a law enforcement officer to make an arrest without a warrant, search without a warrant, or seize property in the belief the items were evidence of a crime.
In many areas, a judicial officer is available 24 hours a day to issue warrants. A magistrate who believes that an affidavit establishes â probable cause â to conduct a search will issue a warrant (see the section just below for more on probable cause).owever, the suspect can later challenge the validity of the warrant with a pretrial motion. Police officers can also obtain an anticipatory search warrantâa warrant that issues before contraband arrives at the location to be searchedâif they can show probable cause (U.S. v. Grubbs, U.S. Sup. Ct. 2006).
