Totality of the Circumstances

Where the facts and circumstances surrounding the application of the warrant paints a common sense picture that it is likely that contraband or evidence will be found in the place(s) to be searched.

• For example when a suspect is caught with a possession of an illegal firearm and it is likely to be more concealed in their properties.

• Another example would be where cumulative Police Reports within the statute of limitations (30 days) indicate that contraband or evidence of a crime is likely to be found in a place(s) to be searched.
