and that's whether the search warrant application established probable cause to search monson's home where it was based on criminal activity conducted in public by another person rubin a c s this case concerns that not suspect but a third party's home and the home is the most protected space under the fourth amendment that's bedrock fourth amendment law and it's probable cause that ensures the balance between fourth amendment interests so law enforcement can search a home if there is a fair probability that evidence of a crime will be there and that means that the circumstances are sufficient for a person of reasonable caution to believe not only that a crime has been committed but that evidence of that crime will be at the home and the state argues that it makes no difference whether a c has lived in months of home but of course it does it's not a requirement but it's a factor and most of the cases cited in the in the briefing attainments of the state concerned suspects home where there is an established connection between the suspect and the place to be searched so without that fact the circumstances themselves have to establish a fair probability and here a practical common sense assessment of the totality of the circumstances based on the information in the act and here there's a noticeable absence of fact connecting a c s is criminal activity to munson's home and this contrasts with the specificity of what's in the affidavit about because  inside the drugs on the shelf as yes points to it harrison retrieves it gives him the money and they leave the drugs are tested and confirmed to be cocaine so we know that there is drug dealing going on but we don't know the time of day how long between the request and the deal and as to the first to work as yes comes from or goes we know only once that he comes from monsters home before the third deal otherwise the warrant is silent as to whether he comes from or goes and so when coupled with the other information in the warrant it's clear that this warrant is barebones as two months of home because all we know otherwise is as to the first  reasonable to infer that they have more than a casual relationship because she's in her car driving but that's conjecture we don't know if she's alone there's no mention of her none just being in the car so there's a lack of facts and observations on which to base that inference and that's demonstrated hartmann that's the case at the state relies on the police have probable cause to search a third party's home where that third party provided a murder suspect with a right to buy a disguise and then get out of association and that's unreasonable and as to the third by we know that c s was seen leaving some home now much is made of the uninterrupted surveillance which means only that the police watched him from when he left until he got to the store there's nothing to indicate how long the surveillance had been going on what time or how long it been between s c s getting requests for drugs and getting to the store or whether he stopped anywhere else so it's unreasonable to infer that by c s who's dealing with a small amount of drugs an eighth of of an ounce would get those drugs from the home where it's easily concealed on his person otherwise there are two conclusory statements one is that the stores are in the concern a defendant's or suspects home but we know that there's an established connection there he goes there more than once here to infer that he goes there more than once because he's seen there once and he was in a car once in one thousand days earlier this registered there isn't reasonable and that would be considering the totality of circumstances otherwise there is another conclusory statement which i refer to as the associates paragraph in the briefing that states that law enforcement records show lives at the home well that's either a reiteration of the same that he was seen in her car or it implies some baseless connection there's unknown law enforcement records without any details connecting hernando's to an illicit everything else is hunches and speculation based on conclusions and that's why the warrant application is they are bones as to monsoons home we're now in tries to when you can argue that that supports a finding that the war application didn't establish a substantial basis for probable cause here now just to so rightly her dissent agreed and found that there was even more information connecting that defendant to the home in  case the police observed defendant leave an apartment building three times and then drive to meet an individual on the street and appear to exchange money they can from that one of those times was a cocaine deal they detained a man named cox he said he bought the drugs from the defendant and gave them the number that he called and so based on that information police detained a warrant to search the defendant in the car that he was using they searched it and they didn't recover contraband they found a card with a number on it a card with the word  three hundred fifty dollars and there was a positive dogs and his license listed the place where he had left but he denied living there so based on that information obtained a warrant to search his home and the  wasn't enough to establish a substantial basis because to uphold that warrant under those circumstances would mean that mere commission of a crime on the street we create a fair probability that evidence would be found in the suspects home nothing else owner or the house and to find a substantial basis based on that information would be a conclusion based on hunches so the only thing you can infer is what justice of mind it which is what is that i see as was in a point so the owners of the home and i think it's best these circumstances are best illustrated i think in a real life scenario so i have a teenager nice and nephew there often in my car they often have friends with them it could be that one day i'm driving my niece from an activity home and she has a friend with her and that friend says hey can we stop at this grocery store so i can get a snack we all live near one another so you got a friend goes into the store and conducts a great deal comes back into my car and i take her home a week later she conducts another drug deal in the neighborhood at another store and a week after that my niece invites her friend to my house for dinner and after dinner that friend leaves it conducts another drug the open neighborhood that would not be probable cause to search my home but under the facts of this case it could be and that's mozart that the fourth amendment requires more than that and so under those circumstances the good faith also ship apply because as the when you court found when you have a warrant that's barebones as to a place to be searched there cannot be reasonable reliance those inquiries are intertwined you can't have objective because there are two aspects of officer conduct to deter the first is to deter officer reliance on bear upon circumstances that i just described and the second is to deter affiance from bootstrapping probable cause in the way that happened here this is what the court in rojas warned against for you have a warrant that hasn't from a ship has probable cause to search another person or another place and then that's then struck by association to another person or another place these warrants can be misleading whether purpose for inadvertent they can be misleading and they can create a sense that evidence could be found somewhere but they certainly don't create probable cause here harrison also executed the warrant he attested to the lack of known details the conclusory associates paragraph he was aware of the ambiguity and then relied on thirteen other officers in executing that warrant to search for answers home more investigation should have been conducted there was no apparent exit in c the warrant was requested three days after the third by it was approved that day and that the officers wait yet another day before executing it more of a sufficient investigation could have been conducted and so excluding the evidence would have real application to train police misconduct in order to protect people from hunt recently searches and seizures which is the other part of the fourth amendment that needs to be balance court that confirmed the lead of the search warrant of seven zero one less marion in this case either because they weren't wasn't back valid or alternatively because the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule should apply i will start with polygamy of the word w it which is actually a two part question in this case because the parties dispute the applicable standard review actually i think it's noteworthy that my posing counsel here today did not mention that whatsoever her brief seem to advocate for  those warrants first and that counterbalances the concerns defendant identifies about yes the home is a very sacred space for the fourth amendment purposes but the u s supreme court is certainly aware of that and has repeatedly said that the deferential standard and what that differential standard is it's asking whether the magistrate had a substantial basis that's the layer of deference to find a fair probability that the evidence of the crime should be found there my opponent did not mention that deference here today and that's important component of how this court review what happened below so in the context of the facts of this case the central question is whether there is sufficient nexus between the crimes identified the items to be seized and the location challenging is the residence at seven zero one west marion now only cases have also acknowledged the related principle that shows how important the us supreme court has emphasized this preference for searches conducted towards not only does that support the application of the deferential standard of review but it also supports the principle that it can eliminate cases have repeated it in close cases marginal cases reviewing courts should construe the warrant application to up hold the warran that is the importance of the warrant and encouraging police to get the ones before conducting searches now that's about as far as illinois cases have gone and explaining how this nexus analysis should go it's quite noteworthy that there are numerous instances of cases from other jurisdictions that with remarkable uniformity identify the same four factors as being useful to analyze whether a sufficient nexus exists and i have provided citations to several of these cases that page nine of the at least three cases from state supreme courts and federal courts of appeals this court should adopt these four factors as being useful for this analysis and they include number one type of crime involved number two the nature of the item reprieve the extent that the suspect had an opportunity to conceal evidence of the crimes and finally common sense inference is about where such evidence would be him and applying that to these facts is useful so indicate that the drug deals might be nothing more than a drug user on an isolated incident deciding to sell drugs on his or her person that otherwise might be there for personal use and the second category is where there is enough evidence in the w affidavit to indicate that the drug dealer is an established drug dealer who ha and that is important because a refuted drug dealer would have more items associated with that drug dealing here she would need access to a larger drug supply would mean other items connected to drug dealing such as jails packaging like plastic baggies and large amounts of cash and he starts to imagine all of those items side by side here a of these tools that go with drug dealing those cannot be carried on one's person from place to place and that's an important distinction because repeated drug dealers after all he sold cocaine to get a chance to be undercover officer here in the course of twenty days and in all three instances when officer harrison contacted him to initiate his drug deals he was able to respond that same day and provide the requested drugs so that does raise a reasonable inference that he would need a place to store these items which leads to the second and fourth factors what are the nature of these items at least some of them are inherently illicit certainly a larger supply of cocaine that's inherently illicit and the reasonable inference that follows from that is you need a hidden you know secret or at least secure place to store your larger suppl came and while the other items i mentioned are necessarily inherently illicit things like scales and cash and last in bags they certainly when he's asked in combination with a large supply of drugs are indicative of drug  and so because these are inherently illicit the common sense and ones that follows as these cases cited in that brief have shown you needed you needed a private place to store these guys animal and while oftentimes as my opposing counsel decided it is often the drug dealers residents certainly it's true that not everybody has a stable residence not everybody has roommates they can trust a story like this here but it might but i'm trying to say that while it is your residence that would be another factor to support searching and it is not a negative fact if we're talking about searching a third party residence that is just because we didn't know that seven no one was marion was can see if his residence shouldn't detract from the probable cause in light of the other facts that connected p c s to this particular location and so that is bringing us to the court here is there is some level of a relationship there i would not and my car keys to someone i just met and allow them to drive away at least a reasonable inference that there is an established relationship that's one piece in the totality of the circumstances the that except that i believe officer harrison when he testified at the trial said he was unaware that they in fact were related hernandez was q c s his cousin it turns out and he said he looked at law enforcement records it's not otherwise it's plain and as i'm standing here explaining the three facts i actually don't rely on that sentence as one of the facts i don't think it provides any more weight than the fact i can see as with c n n her name is this car for example so i'm not asking this court to take bad as any additional weight in support of probable cause because it's a clear and so in fact to get back to that list and so there first that being in the ford explorer second the second and third sales were in the proximity and the third and final back again not citing the associate sense but the third fact in most important fact was that was that for the third sale when officer harrison contacted his c s to set up a third buy at the same time the police were conducting surveillance at seven zero west one must mari and they observed his c s exit seven o one west marion and walked through uninterrupted surveillance which indicates they never lost sight of him that he walked to the third sale and conducted the third sale certainly the fact that someone and the second fact that was cited was that she i believe as she entered and exited the house after she was contacted later for pricing about a second sale so that's that's pretty similar to what we have here we have that kind patient connection between the crimes that items to be seized and the location to be searched that has nothing to do with mentioning a person it's just where these items going to be and the fact that it's reasonable inferences are actually verified by the turned out the case he said well i didn't feel safe in my own home i was having trouble with my girlfriend there was gang activity in my neighborhood so that's why i was staying with my cousin sometimes so this case is an example of why someone might not use their own probable cause to search that house i think that we should remember that this is a very preliminary step in the process we're not talking about convicting of a crime we're not talking about sufficient to charge a crime and we're not even talking about the end point of a police investigation a search warrant is a step in the process so the to the extent my opponent is trying to out the police for not taking additional steps before this this is just part this is one of the steps that you are taking in the investigation criminal procedure and leon itself said the good faith exception applied in that case because the appellate court justices follow in that case had divided and split over whether the affidavit had probable cause that's what we sufficient evidence to be probable cause because we trust magistrates to make these judgments of issuing warrants they're in a better position than the police officers to do so the fact that really other judges found it to be sufficient is connection between the crimes and the location as i just discussed there's three facts here now it is the state's burden to prove this however in anticipation that correctly that we would invoke this as an alternative argument stated that it was the totality of the circumstances that they were feeling and that included that the defendant out of the many suspects listed in that warrant was the only one challenge probable cause and that it was not a barebones warrant leon is what's considered a marginal case and in that case there was more information connecting that defendant to the criminal activity than there was here in that case you had an extensive investigation about drug dealing you had suspects who were connected to the defendant because he was listed as the employer one of the suspects on his probation records you had this an informant stating that they got drugs from a home and burbank and that's what a defendant left we don't even have anywhere near that information here probable cause certainly when you have a series of hunches and you're trying to connect people to other people to places you might have a desire to want to connect them but here you have just a series of punches and you're drawing inferences based on other inferences and inclusions that's not fair probability certainly it's not as high as reasonable doubt but i wouldn't call it probable cause a low standard it's higher than reasonable suspicion and we don't even have that here and so  to your question it doesn't have to be purposeful the stakes i'd like to see the state argument as to the form factors seem to be moving a probable cause determination towards right my rules and clearly this court reviews the of the circumstances so support factors can be relevant but if you have a case like here where you don't have those four factors at heart that's our position that it's not going to be as helpful and so there's no reason to adopt another rigid rule which was rejected by the supreme court and the state's argument that a drug dealer keeps evidence and packaging in his home it right on a case that dealt with a drug trafficker and the reasoning in that case said that when you have large amounts of drugs you can reasonably infer under those circumstances that it would be kept at the drug traffickers home that's certainly far below far more than what we have here to the point that not everyone has a stable residence there's a head think that's a problem with th c s live somewhere we don't know where he lives i don't think it's fair to assume that he doesn't have a stable residence and what the state is referring to is after the fact information that is irrelevant to this court's determination of probable cause there's a lot that came out at trial because c s took responsibility for the drugs and said he actually didn't access so drugs to deal but that's not relevant to this court's probable cause a termination we're looking at the warrant and that  after several years not far from where this occurred looking at the addresses i would have no idea how far the stories were from one another and even if the magistrate had those distances it wouldn't matter for the reason we stated proximity has meaning when you know why the suspect is at the home here we do not know that you have to infer that and then you would have to base the significance of the proximity on an inference and that's improper you have to base that on facts and observations the home being a candidate for search is a hunch that's exactly what that is it's a candidate for a search it doesn't mean a fair probability the same is for the relationship between  opponent used the word some relationship that is the problem we don't know the relationship all we can infer is that they know one another and that's not that doesn't present a fair grounds for a fair probability that the drugs will be there as far as the and he was seen in her car once that is not a statement to connect to the house that's a reasonable inference but it's not the ultimate statement of probable cause you certainly see statements like that in other words you see the f b i trying to connect everything they're so going to connect that that's about distinguishing this case from the hypothetical that i gave about the danger but the precedent in this case is that this case can be used to state there's probable cause in that circumstance i mean even if i let my niece's friend drive because her parents said go ahead letter she has or her driver's come and go and let her drive that would create any more probable cause to search my home i think it's dangerous because it sets up a standard below reasonable suspicion to get into a third party's home and i do think that's a very important factor minutes but this court cited to novo review and sutherland mccarthy more recently in chambers even if it's a general standard of review why would it be cited it's not what's being applied it is also true that deference is mentioned in the analysis probably because that has been applied as one of the legal principles of probable cause now arguably there is a contradiction between these two principles but those that's this court's precedents and to the extent that there's a contradiction it certainly makes sense for the city to know because this is a legal determination otherwise what the state is advocating for this humor deference would result in upholding magistrates legal determinations now there's a policy stated in gates for that because we want police officers who want to incentivize them to get warrants but the fourth amendment has balanced interests we have to also protect against unreasonable searches and seizures if we  magistrate hearings to create the body that unified body of law to guide other magistrates in determining probable cause you're relying on a hearing that's ex parte not adversarial frequently marked by hayes was how it was described in chambers and that would
