Question Presented (AI Summary)

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'

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

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?
