Assume that police have received an unsolicited telephone call that the police phone line recorder captured that accused a local couple of drug trafficking and storing illegal drugs within their home
Information contained within the phone call involved allegations of illegal drug activity, some of which information could have been known only to a person with intimate knowledge of the couple's activity. Other information within the phone call predicted both future activity to be conducted by the couple and information that could be publicly verified. Probable cause to search the home A) cannot be developed under these facts because an informant's identity must be known, or probable cause cannot exist due to the unknown level of reliability of the informant. B) cannot exist under the circumstances since if a person were telling the truth about the couple, any informant would allow his or identity to be known to the police. C) could be developed by the police only if they were able to actually identify the phone caller and verify that person's honesty, reliability, and grasp of the facts.. D) could be developed by police if they were able to verify some of the facts alleged within the phone call and if they observed some of the predicted future activity of a couple. Such a process would verify the informant's honesty and reliability. E) exists based on the phone call because the caller, although unknown, subjected him or herself to criminal prosecution if the phone call to police was a false report. This fact shows the honesty of the caller.
