Probable cause is a standard that all law enforcement officers abide by when searching for evidence on a person or their property to get a warrant and make an arrest. Probable cause affects the actions of police because if they do not follow these guidelines they can be reprimanded and the person they are trying to arrest will be let go and the evidence they found could be thrown out of court. Officers have to meet the criteria in order to make the arrest so I would say 8 out of 10 times someone is arrested.
