| The lower court agreed that a constitutional
violation occurred and held that the affiant was not entitled to
qualified immunity as any reasonable officer would have concluded from
just a cursory look at the warrant that it was invalid. 83 (1980) (An informant who "had given
information to [the affiant officer] on previous occasion and which was
correct," stated that he had purchased heroin from the defendant on
many occasions, the last time being 1 day ago, and the defendant still
had a ready supply of heroin on-hand in his apartment. Some courts have concluded that it is so obvious that criminals
keep the fruits and implements of their criminal activities in their
homes that it is not necessary for affiants to even mention that fact in
their affidavits when obtaining a search warrant for a criminal's
residence. |
