Best Answer

A fuse is nothing more than a conductor [wire] that is smaller than the conductor wire in circuit which the fuse is designed and intended to protect. The amount of current [measured in Ampheres (Amps)] creates some "resistance heating" in any conductor. The greater the current in relation to the size [and current carrying capacity] of the wire, the greater the heat generated. A fuse that runs warm or hot only indicates that it is carrying a lot of current, possibly near it's limit. When the current limit is reached, the fine wire in the fuse will melt [fuse], opening, or breaking, the circuit thus stopping the flow of current and protecting the conductor wire.

No warrant is ever necessary. Any armed assault is a felony offense for which only probable cause is necessary to effect an arrest.

Why is probable cause an important clause in the collection of evidence?

There is no "probable cause clause" attached to the collection of evidence. EVIDENCE of a crime can be collected at any time law enforcement beomes aware of the offense. Evidence, once collected, is developed and used by the investigators, and can lead to the establishment of "probable cause" to charge a particular individual. Under a more technical view of evidence collection - sometimes a warrant may have to be applied for in order to look for and gather evidence and a judge would have to be persuaded that 'probable cause' existed to enter a premises or take blood samples, etc.
