Given that many ordinary citizens fear retaliation from criminal suspects if their identities as a source of information to the police were known, why does the law require more than an anonymous tip to establish probable cause?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: Answers may vary: If anonymous tips alone were sufficient to stop, detain and arrest people, the wheels of law enforcement may spin for no other reason than personal vendettas and investigative dead ends. The law requires credible evidence established by proven and established informants, surveillance activities, knowledge gathered from other law enforcement sources, and other investigative tools.
