12 later decisions quote this exact passage
e.g. Waldrop v. State · 415 So. 2d 1238 - McClellan v. State
“"The `probabilities' implied by the term `probable cause' are not technical; they are the factual and practical considerations of everyday life on which reasonable and prudent men, not legal technicians, act. Brinegar , supra ( 338 U.S. 160 , 69 S.Ct. 1302 , 93 L.Ed. 1879 (1949)). Probable cause does not preclude all room for doubt nor need the officers be absolutely certain and positive that a crime is in the making."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage
e.g. Denson v. State · Williams v. State
“[w]e recognize that the probable cause in this case represents the bare minimum necessary for a valid search without a warrant.”
