June 23, 198256 N.Y.2d 378

The Court held that a statutory form notice warning that false statements are punishable satisfies the constitutional oath or affirmation requirement for a search warrant, and that the informant's statement provided sufficient probable cause. Accordingly, the defendants' motion to suppress was denied and the lower court's judgment was affirmed.
