1994Because the two standards overlap so completely, it is unlikely that a warrant could be found invalid under Gates and yet the police reliance upon it could be seen as objectively reasonable; otherwise, we would have to entertain the mind-boggling concept of objectively reasonable reliance upon an objectively unreasonable warrant. 468 U.S. at 958-59 , 104 S.Ct. at 3444-45 , 82 L.Ed.2d at 721-722 .
