Reasonable Belief

In criminal law, similar to the probable cause standard in that it is a subjective standard used to validate a warrantless search and seizure or arrest and that considers whether an officer acted on personal knowledge of facts and circumstances which are reasonably trustworthy, and that would justify a person of average caution to believe that a crime has been or is being committed; in insurance law, a subjective standard used to determine the extent to which an automobile insurance policy covers a driver, based on the reasonableness of the driver's belief that owner's permission had been granted to use the vehicle, whether or not such permission was directly granted.



How to Update Wiki

The Law Wiki is still very new and so it's a great time to jump in and start updating it and learning how to use it. You really can't mess anything up, because all revisions are stored and can be rolled back by a moderator, so play away and you can help make this a great resource for WORLDLawDirect visitors.
