Franks v. Delaware 438 U.S. 154 (1978) is a United States Supreme Court case dealing with defendants’ rights to challenge evidence collected on the basis of a warrant granted on the basis of a false statement. The court held that where a warrant affidavit contains a statement necessary to the finding of probable cause that is demonstrated to be both false and included by an affiant knowingly and intentionally or with reckless disregard for the truth the warrant is not valid.
