Is hearsay enough probable cause for arrest?
No. The relaying of possible verbal evidence to a crime by a party who does not have direct knowledge of and/or was not present during the alledged criminal act is not enough for authorities to act, although in some cases it might be enough to open an investigation.A statement made by someone that did not witness the issue in question.i.e., "I heard Bill say that Harry did that."
Can a magistrate find probable cause to proceed with a criminal charge without a sworn statement for the arresting officer if he is the only witness?
Yes, of course. In MANY instances it is ONLY the officers sworn word, because the officer was the only one to witness the offense.
Can a person get arrested of someone statement?

How many piece's of evidence do the police have to have before they arrest you?
One, if it's a really good one. Or maybe none if there are witnesses, if you have no alibi, if there is probable cause that you 'done the crime'.Any number of factors that create probable cause can result in arrest, from a single credible witness statement to actual video of the crime.
What level of belief that allows the police to make an arrest?
The police officer has to have probable cause to believe a particular person commited the crime in question. In court, probable cause is NOT enough to convict you of the same crime.
IF Unless they witness a crime police officers cannot arrest a suspect without?
"Probable Cause"
How was probable cause established?
Probable cause is determined by a statement of the facts in a case, including how much evidence the police have to prove their case. Probable cause is the determination that it is likelier than not a person has committed a crime or is committing a crime. There are different levels of probable cause, including for search warrant and for an arrest warrant. A probable cause for a search warrant isn't necessarily a probable cause for an arrest, and vice versa
Probable cause is a higher standard of proof than reasonable suspicion?
The question is a true statement.
In what situations are school officials justified in searching without a warrant or probable cause if they have reasonable suspicion to believe contraband exists?
The Supreme Court has held that students enjoy less constitutional protections while on school property. Lockers are school property and thus do not require a warrant to search. As for a students person, they must have probable cause. A students witness statement may not be enough to justify a search of a student. However, a camera placing you in the area when something was stolen could certainly justify a search for the stolen objects (contraband). As for drugs, if you appear intoxicated or are behaving in a suspect manner, this too may be probable cause to search you for any kind of narcotics.
When robbers get arrested where do they go to get judged to go to jail or not?
Individuals are arrested based on the existence of probable cause. If there is enough evidence to show probable cause, the individual will be arrested by the police and taken to jail.
