Aguilar–Spinelli test

Read a random definition: disseisitus

A quick definition of Aguilar–Spinelli test:

The Aguilar-Spinelli test is a way to decide if information from someone who is not a witness can be used to arrest or search someone. The test has two parts: the information and the person who gave it must both be reliable. This test is not used as much anymore, and now judges look at all the facts to decide if the information is good enough to use.

A more thorough explanation:

The Aguilar–Spinelli test is a standard used in criminal procedure to determine if hearsay, such as an informant's tip, is reliable enough to establish probable cause for an arrest or search warrant. The test has two prongs that must be assessed independently: the reliability of the information and the reliability of the informant.

For example, if an informant tells the police that a drug dealer is operating out of a specific house, the police must assess the reliability of the information (is there any other evidence to support this claim?) and the reliability of the informant (have they provided reliable information in the past?). If both prongs are satisfied, the police may have probable cause to obtain a search warrant for the house.

It's important to note that the Aguilar–Spinelli test has been replaced by a broader approach called the totality-of-the-circumstances test, which considers all relevant factors in determining the reliability of hearsay.

I wouldn't say trauma, the trauma would probably come from seeing my friends head get crushed by an LTV and feeling the bag of glass that was his skull in my hands. Or knowing a kid I mentored shot himself with a bullet he used to keep around his neck that I allowed him to have illegally.

Winter is tattoo season because you are less likely to be in the sun exposing the healng tattoos, you dont go swimming or tanning in winter either so you don't miss out on the fun stuff of summer
