Franks challenges are hard to meet, and intentionally so. Remember that search warrants are presumptively valid, and overcoming that presumption requires something significant. Defense counsel shouldn\u2019t waste time on them unless there\u2019s something significant that amounts to actually misleading the issuing judge, not just word usage. You have a case to prepare, and a Franks challenge can be a lot of wasted effort.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe valid waiver of the right to appeal forecloses review of defendant&#8217;s suppression claim. Regardless of the validity of the waiver, upon our in camera review of the search warrant materials and the minutes of the search warrant application hearing, we conclude that there was probable cause for issuance of the search warrant \u2026. The search warrant also described with sufficient particularity the premises to be searched and property to be seized \u2026.\u201d People v.
