How have the facts of an informant's tip been corroborated by the police?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Green, 914 F.2d 264 (9th Cir. 1990):
The facts recited in the informant's tip were corroborated in virtually every detail by the observations of the officers. See Draper v. United States, 358 U.S. 307, 313 (1959) (personal verification by an officer of the facts related by an informer can show probable cause). In addition, the officers observed that the vehicle did not have license plates. This fact, standing alone, strongly suggested that the vehicle might have been stolen.
