How do police obtaining a warrant? In part by establishing probable cause. How is probable cause determined in the US:
"Probable cause can be based on either direct observation by the police officer, or on hearsay information provided by others."
- mynameisvlad 8y agoOnce again, probable cause is a much higher bar than a Venmo transaction where you can put whatever you want in the description.
- somebehemoth 8y agoI believe I understand your point: police themselves are unlikely to initiate a SWAT raid based on the Venmo transaction comment. However, I don't believe you are sincerely trying to understand my point: If probably cause can be established by, "hearsay information provided by others", Then the Venmo transaction information could result in someone being SWATed by a well intending citizen or a malicious person. Therefore, the availability of this information on Venmo can be a contributing factor to someone having the police called on them (and the police responding). I am not sure where the hole in this logic is?
