Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the 'totality of the circumstances' standard for evaluating informant reliability has been undermined

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED FOR REVIEW Whether the bottom has fallen out of the “totality of the circumstances” standard established by Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213 (1983) for evaluating the reliability of informants in the context of finding probable cause to issue a warrant and this court should conclude that merely placing an informant under oath is insufficient to find an informant reliable.
