The People of the State of Colorado v. Scott K. McKay

Summary

The court reversed the order suppressing evidence obtained from a search of McKay's home and car. It held that the warrant affidavit, considered under the totality of the circumstances and with appropriate deference to the issuing magistrate, provided a substantial basis for finding probable cause despite possible omissions concerning searches of the confidential informant's car. The court remanded for further proceedings, and noted that McKay could still seek a veracity hearing concerning the affidavit.
