In the case of Franks v. Delaware, the Court established the "Franks Rule," which requires a defendant to meet two requirements in order to successfully attack the veracity of a warrant affidavit: (1) show that the applying officer intentionally or recklessly included a false statement in the affidavit; and (2) demonstrate that the affidavit, without the false statement, would not have established probable cause.
