About this listen

What is probable cause? According to the law, a 51% benchmark. According to some captains in police departments, it's somewhere between 70% and beyond a reasonable doubt. In this episode, we talk through investigations from the stand point of probable cause for an arrest, what that looks like, how a case can be presented to a county attorney's office, and the importance of police writing excellent reports. Spoiler alert: they rarely do.
