Note that the police cannot search a vehicle and the occupants thereof on the sole basis of an anonymous tip or a verbal statement by an informant. The tip, text, or verbal statement must first be verified by the policemen through his/her own personal knowledge (not hearsay) prior to the search that there is probable cause to believe that (1) a crime had been committed, and (2) the evidence of the crime, like the prohibited drugs, are in the vehicle to be searched. To repeat, a tip, standing alone, is not sufficient to constitute probable cause.
