Highlight

Whether probable cause exists to issue a search warrant is a question of law.
Probable cause exists when the facts and circumstances relied upon by the judge who issues the warrant would lead a person of reasonable caution to believe the evidence sought probably will be found in the place to be searched.
The admission and use of photographs in criminal trials is largely within the trial court's discretion.
