Probable cause to search" the police can obtain information from:
Confidential Informant - i am familiar with this term, meaning a person who is reliable, credible source, and has snitched before successfully. From what I understand, this source's word alone is probable cause.
Untested Source of Information - this is the question. Is there a difference regarding this kind of snitch to the validity of probable cause. Im assuming the source has never been an informant and the police do not know if what they say is credible - untested.
Motion to Discover:
is it easier to reveal the untested sources identity? or is it just like a C.I.?
Do I have to go to trial to find this information?
