<p begin="00:00:06.00" end="00:00:10.20">There is a term that’s often used in the law, and it sometimes can be confusing.</p>
<p begin="00:00:10.30" end="00:00:18.20">The term is “probable cause.” It’s used by municipal court judges in determining whether to bind the case over to a grand jury.</p>
<p begin="00:00:18.30" end="00:00:23.30">It’s also used by grand juries themselves as a standard of whether to indict someone.</p>
<p begin="00:00:23.40" end="00:00:27.70">However, the term is broadly used in other areas of criminal law.</p>
<p begin="00:00:27.80" end="00:00:33.60">Probable cause is a requirement for a judge to issue a search warrant for a person’s house or property.</p>
<p begin="00:00:33.70" end="00:00:41.20">Probable cause also is required before any court can issue an arrest warrant for the capture of someone wanted for a crime.</p>
<p begin="00:00:41.30" end="00:00:45.50">Although the term has slightly different definitions, depending upon its use,</p>
<p begin="00:00:45.60" end="00:00:52.90">the general thought is that probable cause means “more likely than not,” “probably,” not just “possibly.”</p>
<p begin="00:00:53.00" end="00:00:59.70">In short, there is a high probability that something happened, or illegal contraband would be found at a certain place,</p>
<p begin="00:00:59.80" end="00:01:04.10">or that someone committed a criminal act. That’s probable cause.</p>
<p begin="00:01:04.20" end="00:01:10.00">This legal minute is brought to you by the Ohio State Bar Foundation.</p>
