2. “[u]nder the safeguards of the fourth amendment to the United States Constitution and article I, section 7 of the Hawaii Constitution, all arrests and searches must be based upon probable cause. Probable cause exists when the facts and circumstances within one’s knowledge and of which one has reasonably trustworthy information are sufficient in themselves to warrant a person of reasonable caution to believe that an offense has been committed. Direct evidence, however, is not necessary for a probable cause determination by the [judge]. The issuance of a search warrant is prohibited except upon a finding of probable cause supported by oath or affirmation.”
