Peterson v. Stategreen2 sentences2018Id. (citing Peterson v. State, 674 N.E.2d 528, 536 (Ind. 1996), cert. denied). 1999The amount of evidence necessary to meet the probable cause requirement is determined on a case-by-case basis, see Peterson, 674 N.E.2d at 536 , and the facts and circumstances need not relate to the same crime with which the suspect is ultimately charged. | 7 | 10 |
Ortiz v. Stategreen2 sentences2024“The amount of evidence necessary to meet the probable cause requirement is determined on a case-by-case basis, and the facts and circumstances need not relate to the same crime with which the Court of Appeals of Indiana | Opinion 23A-CR-1298 | March 12, 2024 Page 11 of 27 suspect is ultimately charged.” Ortiz v. State, 716 N.E.2d 345, 348 (Ind. 1999) (citations omitted). [15] Ind. Code § 9-24-18-1 , which was cited in the State’s brief in opposition to the motion to suppress and the trial court’s September 28, 2022 order, is titled “Driving without a license” and provided at the time of the t 2024“The amount of evidence necessary to meet the probable cause requirement is determined on a case-by-case basis.” Id.

Ross v. Stategreen2 sentences2017“The amount of evidence necessary to meet the probable cause requirement for a warrantless arrest incident to a lawful arrest, is determined on a case-by-case basis, and is less than the level of proof necessary to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.” Ross v. State, 844 N.E.2d 537, 542 (Ind. Ct. App. 2006). [27] Here, Neville does not deny that his act of driving without a license gave Detective Ball probable cause to arrest him for that offense. 2008See, e.g., Ware v. State, 859 N.E.2d 708, 720 (Ind.Ct.App.2007) (“The amount of evidence necessary to meet the probable cause requirement ... is determined on a case-by-case basis, and is less than the level of proof necessary to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.”) (quoting Ross v.

Jaggers v. Stategreen2 sentences2015Based on the officer’s testimony at a probable cause hearing, a magistrate issued a warrant authorizing a search of the described house for “[m]ari-juana, ‘grow’ lights, and records and other similar written material recording or otherwise reflecting illegal trafficking in marijuana.” 687 N.E.2d at 181 . 2015The officer *916 executed the search warrant at Jaggers’ house. [17] Our Supreme Court determined the totality of the circumstances did not corroborate the hearsay: “The informant’s claim that Jaggers' was cultivating and trafficking marijuana in his house was entirely uncorroborated. • The facts that were verified were unremarkable; anyone who knew the location of [Jaggers’] house and the two marijuana patches could have placed the anonymous phone call.” Id. at 184 .

State, 817 N.E.2d 239, 246 (Ind. Ct. App. 2004). [7] Walker claims that in order to have probable cause to arrest him, Officers Pflum and Carroll had to establish that he had actual or constructive possession of the synthetic marijuana found on the ground near his moped. | 2 | 2 |
Taylor v. Stategreen2 sentences2016See Taylor v. State, 659 N.E.2d 535, 537 (Ind.1995). [12] The State relies on two exceptions to the probable cause requirement, one identified in Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 , 88 S.Ct. 1868 , 20 L.Ed.2d 889 (1968), which relates to a brief stop and frisk for weapons, and another identified in Michigan v. Summers, 452 U.S. 692 , 101 S.Ct. 2587 , 69 L.Ed.2d 340 (1981), which relates to the execution of a search warrant. 2003As we observed in Taylor v. State, 659 N.E.2d 535, 539 (Ind.1995), probable cause requires only that the information available to the officer would lead a person of reasonable caution to believe the items could be useful as evidence of a crime. *1137 Based on the descriptions of the suspects and the identification discovered in the car, probable cause existed to issue a search warrant for the Governours Court address. | 2 | 2 |
Wells v. Bernittgreen2 sentences2016To the extent that Ali suggests that her eventual acquittal conclusively establishes that no probable cause existed to charge her with theft in the first place, we emphasize that “the amount of evidence necessary to meet the probable cause requirement ... is less than the level of proof necessary to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.” Wells v. Bernitt, 936 N.E.2d 1242, 1253 (Ind.Ct.App.2010), tmns. denied (2011).
