2020(Other citations omitted.) Therefore, “ ‘the rules of evidence and the hearsay exclusionary rule do not apply in a suppression hearing.’ ” State v. Bishop, 2d Dist. Clark No. 2003-CA-37, 2004-Ohio-6221, ¶ 19 , quoting State v. Pipkins, 2d Dist. Montgomery No. 15060, 1996 WL 50158 , *4 (Feb. 9, 1996).

2007We have held before that the hearsay exclusionary rule does not apply in a suppression hearing, for the determination of probable cause "depends upon the information relayed to [the officers] and whether they could reasonably have relied upon it, based upon what they knew at the time."

2020(Other citations omitted.) “ ‘At a suppression hearing, the Court may rely on hearsay and other evidence, even though that evidence would not be admissible at trial.’ ” Pipkins at *4, quoting United States v. Raddatz, 447 U.S. 667, 679 , 100 S.Ct. 2406 , 65 L.Ed.2d 424 (1980). {¶ 12} Although “the trial court has broad discretion to admit or exclude evidence in a suppression hearing,” Bishop at ¶ 18, because the hearsay rule does not apply to suppression hearings, it was arguably error for the trial court to exclude the testimony in question on hearsay grounds.
