Question Presented (AI Summary)

Did the Court of Appeals violate the principle that rigid legal rules are ill-suited to an analysis of probable cause by relying on a rule to find a minimally-sufficient probable cause to search the home, instead of examining all the circumstances and seeing that the putative connection of drug-trafficking to the home was utterly meaningless?
