is someone being at a place during a crime a probable cause to get a search warrant
In Maryland:
- Being at a place during a crime doesn't automatically establish probable cause for a search warrant.
- Probable cause is based on reasonable belief that a crime has been committed and evidence may be found in a specific location.
- This is judged on a case-by-case basis.
so if my boyfriend was seen on camera at a place during a crime not committing any crime does that give the police probable cause for a search warrant
In Maryland:
- Merely being present at a crime scene doesn't automatically provide probable cause for a search warrant.
- The police would need additional information that a crime was committed and evidence is at a specific location.
- Every case is unique and evaluated individually.
