### Question 13
# Brief Explanations:
**What is probable cause?**
Probable cause is a reasonable belief, based on facts and circumstances, that a crime has been or is being committed, and that a particular person is involved or that evidence of a crime can be found in a specific place.

**How does probable cause affect what police officers can and cannot do?**
- **Can do**: If an officer has probable cause, they can obtain a search warrant from a judge to search a person, place, or vehicle for evidence of a crime. They can also make an arrest if they have probable cause to believe the person committed a crime.
- **Cannot do**: Without probable cause, police officers generally cannot conduct a search (without consent or exigent circumstances) or make an arrest. For example, they can't randomly search a person's home or arrest someone just on a hunch; they need that reasonable basis of probable cause.

# Answer:
- What is probable cause? Probable cause is a reasonable belief, based on facts and circumstances, that a crime has been or is being committed, and that a particular person is involved or that evidence of a crime can be found in a specific place.
