3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Gonzales · State v. Nyce“The issue of whether facts intentionally omitted or misstated in an affidavit are of such materiality that their non-disclosure or misstatement may lead to invalidating the search warrant[] turns on whether these facts, because of their inherent probative force, give rise to a substantial probability that, had the information been set out or correctly stated in the affidavit, it would have altered a reasonable magistrate’s determination of probable cause.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Fernandez“A judge in fashioning the terms of probation, may impose conditions reasonably related to the probationer’s rehabilitation, which are designed to protect the public against the commission of other offenses during the term ... and which have as their objective the deterrence of future misconduct.”
