Dynamic IP Address and Probable Cause
This post examines a recent Connecticut case in which the defendant claimed a search warrant application was invalid because it did not indicate that the IP address linked to child pornography was “most likely dynamic”. State v. Shields, 124 Conn. App. 584, ___ A.3d ___, 2010 WL 4069147 (Connecticut Court of Appeals 2010).

Certainly a good example of why making sure all the "t"s are crossed and "i"s dotted could be critical. I would say that in a different Court the rulings could have been significantly different.
I don't get it. ?
The claim was rejected.
The "dynamic" IP had lease times of months, not days or hours.
IF a Court would buy that there is substantial difference between a "dynamic" IP (with such a long lease) and a "static" IP, it wouldn't be "reasonable" at all.
Surely the timing of the "linking" bwtween the IP and address was incorrect, but I doubt that there are the elements to consider this as
substantial . . . showing that a false statement knowingly and intentionally, or with reckless disregard for the truth, was included . . . in the warrant affidavit
