Police received an anonymous informant's tip that a motorist would be traveling down a specific road at a specific time, having left a particularly described home

The anonymous informant also noted that the motorist, who the informant specifically described, would be headed in a particular direction carrying drugs to be delivered to a third party at an apartment building. Acting on the informant's tip, police observed the motorist exit the home and drive in the direction suggested by the informant. It would be proper for the police to A) make a stop of the motor vehicle and conduct an immediate search for drugs if police were able to validate some of the informant's information. B) follow the motor vehicle and observe its direction, but the police could not stop the vehicle based on the anonymous informant's information.
