question which is what standard applies in this circumstance we believe the courts answered that standard question regarding the standard and under payton versus newark and first united states versus agnew back in two thousand and five and then more recently warrant to go into somebody's house so we're talking about the probable cause determination associated with an arrest and what is going to be ok and if you will i think the court mentioned that the standard may be up for debate but that it's fairly settled at least within this circuit and i don't think the supreme court decision in peyton's to the contrary if you look at justice white's dissent he's certainly talking about the majority opinion in terms of their probable cause requirement and in fact in a footnote contained a reference to the north of thirteen street address in harrisburg pennsylvania having been issued in the district of puerto rico that the future is not settled this is pretty apparent from the split among the circuits that we've got the circuits taking all sorts said there that i knew was describing the application of a probable cause standard that is but we need quite clear that we thought the if you were is still open and didn't need to be particular address and then secondarily is he there well you had a pretty good information case from a from the street informants as well as a police detective actually our our position is this is pretty six circuit which actually did discuss the difference in or none of them are talking about some sort of information from i mean informants that somebody may be staying at an address on north thirteenth street in harrisburg they're talking about reasonable belief it would be probable cause especially really to break the door here but it seems like in this case they had all the indications that there was somebody there was the person that they were looking for especially with regard to the from that stop marshal duncan says that he has information from informants it doesn't say how many that this guy rivera may be staying at this north thirteenth street address and in harrisburg and then he spoke to a detective or again i named and says the same thing hours in one case and another case he's going to be there for two days and another case he's going to report it and then the police don't just simply act on that information they cooperate because it's not reliable it's coming from him failed and they need one of the best are you suggesting at least for the second preacher door to to arrest a suspect is it your view that reasonable belief doesn't exist anymore i don't know i think the position exists i think the quotes use of the term recently believes or reasonable grounds cause all mean the same theories it was so one sort of we should distinguish between the two are not in this context i think of if the police have reliable information of what makes a reliable some degree of corroboration from surveillance maybe some degree of cooperation from the records in the case or some degree of cooperation from simple interviewing for knowing who these people are mean if i may add or tell you the guys living there i think you can go in if we take the position that reasonable belief  that that is the question to be arrested well that's what i was trying perhaps not perfectly well articulated for i think it depends on the strength of the initial probable cause determination if you really believe that this is a person's residence is based upon an anonymous tip and one or two informant anonymous information from some unknown police detective and there's no detail i think you need a little bit more when you get to the residence to determine if the person you're looking for is there mr rivera certainly didn't rent this property mr or certainly didn't wasn't the there based upon this very vague information that he's staying at this house on one forty two north thirteenth street and nothing else we don't know who else admitted the property was apparently rented by mr vasquez out of there so that brings me to about the next days why wouldn't the context of a third party's interest there be a probable cause standard because certainly information necessary to get arrest warrant doesn't protect third parties and their property interests and fourth amendment rights you know i'm thinking the problem is what the child police officers on the street that you have to have probable cause or reasonable belief how do you tell them what the difference is but i think they know how to make a probable cause determination and they come all the time it's kind of an interesting coincidence if you look at agnew the law enforcement officer nag you know was a vending sheriff duncan he's now a marshal doc in his case he seemed to figure it out pretty good i mean he didn't seem to have any trouble when i was doing research tell him about the third party crimes this is being invaded by law enforcement officers and we think what right why should we think this is a sort of false distinction in that the supreme court describing what's required probable cause for search we we should think of this is perhaps a sliding scale that this is the totality of the circumstances encompassing both issues that is the residence and presence in the residence rather than his two prongs which is the so they're going to some different place and they're staying there and you know they're living with somebody else you've got to take into consideration those people's interest as well i think you need a little bit more and that's a what if you notice there's a country door knock on the door and it's not only that they he on the strength of in the initial information i don't think they affirm that when you want to offer a dog not barking wrong enough is necessarily the same thing as actually see and somebody in the house and i would point out that the district court did say that they saw movement in the house circuit grant but every other circuit the first the second to third the fifth the six the eight the tenth eleventh and the d c circuit courts of appeals all suggest that it's a different standard what do you think about them i think it is a different standard i think it's a different standard for a number of reasons i think the supreme court initially of pain and pain is the one that really provided the inception of what is reasonable belief or reason to believe and painting in that very clearly they distinguished and they said probable cause for the arrest warrant but actually coming up with this reasonable suspicion term basis but very specifically that it's reasonable grounds to believe i think that's very similar to this reasonable belief it's a little threshold my pick but the court when they acted  protections to it with many protections to the home so how could it possibly be that when we think about the default that is that these are protected third party homes until the police know signals completely in applicable in this particular case that that sets for us that the baseline doesn't it because if you need even more than probable cause to get into result of heat and then then the residence the ownership of the home with a sense becomes a proxy for were what level of protection house is going to get how then could we use anything less than probable cause to be the first amendment certainly is one of the greatest protections that we i have and the difference and i would say first off i would sit still is not it not applicable here but nonetheless we have the probable cause we're not simply going in a house based upon reasonable belief and i think that pain really provided a three step process the first step is is that are a problem a cause for arrest warrant you have about a restaurant messrs yes and then you look to the next step and the next step is is a reason to believe that the individual resi resides there and it present at the time and i think that's when the threshold gets broken because you already have all the calls and the supreme court has already addressed that the supreme court said it's radzivill to require someone who has a valid arrest warrant that's been issued to open their door to be arrested and i think that's exactly it's accountability interest i think the quote was absolutely right we certainly want to protect our homes one of the greatest protections we have is the fourth amendment but nonetheless i think we're satisfied because we're not dropping the standard completely but we're doing is we're saying probable cause for the arrest warrant and once you have that arrest warrant the person should be required to open their home based upon a reasonable belief with the other two factors and i think that the supreme court  pain was clear that this is a very distinct in good reason to think so is because you assume you must assume that they made a conscious effort to use it in the same sentence they used probable cause and they use of this reasonable belief standard in the very same that just sounds so what would satisfy you is a serious satisfy your honor and i can tell you that after doing quite a bit of research on the probable cause is something that every law student should know every judge should know every supreme court justice in describing what rises to the what gives rise to the legal standard probable cause has grounded that any sort of factual determination something that i mean that history or district court can evaluate that is whether the reasonable belief on the part of the officers and gazed in the search for rest is the case may be right why should we think about it in those terms that reasonable belief i is part and parcel of probable cause is simply the way to that you can draw rational inference and related experience and they talk about that it's a sufficient probability that there's a fair probability when you have a probable cause so in terms addressing right the standard is a wide stiff and i think it's a lesser standard and i think it's a lesser standard because you already have the protection from the probable cause for the restaurant and now you have an officer to go in the moment at the very specific time has to make a determination and the crews have been a little too to get kind of in the officer's mind and second guess what they should do the things that they should do to verify someone is there aren't reasonable suspicion for a terry stop and frisk there's reasonable belief or reason to believe as we have here for entry into a home but again it's a pig home it's not a a stiegel home was the home of a third party even though the  deputy marshal was in correct pain would be dead if he had to be one hundred percent correct and that's just not what this even with under a standard whether it be probable cause or whether it be reasonable belief here isn't logical to assume that the and even more fundamental problem in that you haven't identified who the informants are anything about their history their credibility their reliability the basis of the information of the officer who made the referral w addition to that the post spoke about this individual having his residence there the supreme court in draper in fact in one thousand fifty nine a tough spoke about that you can rely on from what you have to at what point do we take it to its logical terminus at a hearing as to getting into all the of it's why the credible information there has to be determination and is that the target nation you've got to look at you can't second guess you're looking at the determination of the law enforcement officer at the time that he's making entry into the and at that time he believed that the information that he had was from a reliable confidential informant that or a libel police detective from city harrisburg how is it even apparent from the transcript that that those were two separate sources as opposed to his belief that the referring officer obtain that information from i tunes secondary sources i don't know that it's clearly apparent i think you have to take the context in which he said it he said i had information from a occasions provided reliable information corroborated in different ways we don't have any that kind specificity here in a number of informants whether he attesting officer i  not necessary so we didn't have any of the writings that were articulate those things again the court has to look back and we were in the mind of the law enforcement officer to tell you the circumstances and what he did at the time based upon his experience we had de seventy eight different courts of appeals have addressed this and all of which have said that it's a lesser standard it's more like the reasonable suspicion center but i want to look at the two stooges who were not even going to decide what the difference is because on door but at trial in his trial testimony i he said the address was not the address of record for mr rivera so we wanted to knock and attempt to gain contact with someone inside and gain their consent to search the court looks at the record of the time based upon the judge's decision on the suppression hearing so i don't think you do it outside things you have to look at the record what we have for the suppression hearing at that time and i think that again i don't think that those those two are in congr because the if you look at the testimony of the deputy at time she's talking about you staying there but they later talked about that he's residing there so it's a manics in the terms that necessarily that i would prefer that are used are not necessarily warrant fairly short work so it's not a big deal to impose a warrant requirement in a circumstance and certainly a probable cause standard is something that the police officers are already familiar with and in terms of the reliability of the information in this case i think you need to  egress and they spend twenty thirty minutes electronically you know a search warrant i don't really think that's a big deal but but he didn't put a net aside if you're going to say that you don't need one they should at least need probable cause you're probably going to somebody else's house i
