2018In contrast to the "good faith basis" showing we require to request a veracity hearing, under Franks , a veracity challenge may be made only if there is "a substantial preliminary showing that a false statement knowingly and intentionally, or with reckless disregard for the truth, was included ... in the ... affidavit." Franks , 438 U.S. at 155 -56 , 98 S.Ct. 2674 . 6 Cox's motion to suppress suffers from the same deficiency and may have inadvertently led the trial court down the primrose path to error.
