Probable cause is determined by a statement of the facts in a case, including how much evidence the police have to prove their case. Probable cause is the determination that it is likelier than not a person has committed a crime or is committing a crime. There are different levels of probable cause, including for search warrant and for an arrest warrant. A probable cause for a search warrant isn't necessarily a probable cause for an arrest, and vice versa
