Jeremy Schenck v. United States
CriminalProcedure
Whether allegations in a warrant application are entitled to lesser scrutiny when the district court concludes they are essential to the probable cause analysis but contain 'benign information'
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Areallegations in a warrant application entitled to lesser scrutiny when the district court concludes that the allegations are essential to the probable cause analysis, but contain “benign information?” 2. May a reviewing court base a probable cause determination on the structure of the paragraphs in the warrant application? 3. Does the mere fact that an image was described by a witness using “vulgar slang” for female genitalia establish probable cause without even mentioning the specific slang word in question?
