confidential informant as well as if the court determines there was no probable cause whether reliance on the warrant was in good faith i'm happy to answer any good faith questions of the court may have but i feel it appropriate to focus on the threshold question of whether there was sufficient probable cause to issue the work in the force instance as mentioned earlier this case and this affidavit was based upon the newly arrested confidential informant of i guess basically knew as a confidential informant as well there was no prior interactions with law enforcement of providing tips to provide reliability so then the court looks to questions of the extent of corroboration the nature of the relationship the amount of details provided and the company the informant did provide an amount of details to provide waits did provide certain descriptions but there are questions with regard to the the level of detail provided for example one key item was the location within a home of where these alleged controlled substances were located there was allegedly a map drawn essentially in the affidavit all that was said was that the confidential informant identify the location without any further information given what the confidence will inform and did provide which was corroborated one of the two items of provocation was the location of the hole and appellant discussed two different cases that i think are important and short to show the distinction here and those are also in and that the government contends that olson shows that there is sufficient probable cause in this case however the appellant the appellant we argue that it's more like well and for these reasons in olson the confidential informant was actually the individual's a nephew so there was a familiar relationship that actually demonstrated why the individual had first hand knowledge in addition this court discussed the fact that the basis for the first ten knowledge of location of drugs and other key details was the fact that the informant actually had been inside the home and wanted to rob the uncle of those items which actually expanded the scope of penal interests that were at play into the drug trade beyond the arm robbery that was at hand in bell on the the other hand bell involved an individual who said that there were two babies of drugs and identified the location of the individuals the defendant in that case is home but provided no further information and the officers did not corroborate any further information in this case there was discussion from the confidential informant that he was involved with mr hanssen meyer in terms of distributing methamphetamine but there were some key instances with mr hanson had recently been released was on parole and knew his parole officer there's also the fact that again there were key details with regard to surveillance cameras being present when in fact that was not accurate now the government contends that there were wires there and surely surveillance cameras were the only things that there was possibly be going towards but i'm sure house lights or other items could possibly lead to that as well so again and also and you have a lack of corroboration of any of the these it incriminating details that th e informant there provided earlier says in olsen were very intimate familial relationship an expansive penal interest in terms of into the drug trade beyond mere armed robbery and the other crimes for which he had been arrested that provided additional reliability again here the only clue pieces of proper ration that the agents took in this case was driving the individual by the residence so that he could draw direct them to the residence as well as a criminal background check where later on there was there was a lack of clarity about exactly what that set said that he did have a prior drug transaction but exactly the full extent did he know in fact that he was recently released less than that six months that was claimed by the confidential informant that was left on clear and again in robinson this court noted that corroboration is important again it's not the sole basis for determining the credibility of a conscious confidential informant but it's important and it needs to go towards the illegal information provided in other words it needs to be material to the foreign information again all we have here in terms of crop aeration of what the informant actually said is driving by the home we didn't have any an operation with regard to the relationship for example reviewing text messages or phone calls between the informant mr hans meyer asking for consent for cell site location information from the informant providing that he actually went into the home again there were allegations with regard to the location in the home of where the drugs may have been located but that information wasn't actually included with any detail in the affidavit nor a map allegedly drawn by the confidential informant included so here while there was detail provided with regard to quantity of controlled substance involved and there were allegations of a relationship and basis for first hand knowledge of corroboration which even the government admits was not this affidavit strong suit frankly was basically nonexistent as it relates to any of the incriminating details for mr hanssen myers alleged drug activity and therefore what in addition to the fact that the was a centrally nothing to prove the reliability of the alleged story that the confidential informant provided here something more needs to be needs to be corroborated so in order to prove that information it would have not been much to ask  there was another confidential informant mentioned by a number however even the district court indicated that there was wholly insufficient information as it relates to the reliability of that confidential informant and so therefore it carried absolutely no weight correctly in the district court's mind so the only information was based upon the confidential informant the single one and therefore the probable cause relates to the reliability of that informants information again the only information that was corroborated in the insufficiency of probable cause here so i'll move on to the cases as well as the falsehoods and omissions with regard to the to the comparison to cases whether it's bell good or tear in the seventh circuit there are all material similarities and frankly almost total overlap no of course all cases are going to be slightly factually different so we can't we can't possibly claim that they are identical twins however key aspects essentially single informants of unknown reliability with minimal if not any corroboration were all at play in those cases good faith say that every one of those warrants the officer should have known and in fact were obligated to realize they needed to do more so the reliance on a warrant similarly insufficient in morning your honor is may please the court crystal korea on behalf of the united states yes to david in that supported the search warrant in this case contains facts that support a finding a probable cause and even if this court does not want to reach when the court looks at the reliability of that informant and the information in the affidavit the court's analysis is contained within the four corners of that affidavit to be clear distinction between the facts present in the affidavit information that resulted or came out during the franks hearing the affidavit to support the reliability of an affidavit the court looked at five separate factors and specific to the informant's information the court looks at first hand observations the detail and specificity of the information provided for by the informant and the duration of time between the information provided by the informant and the application for the search warrant and they were going to use penal interest to heroin and with respect to his piano interest the informant admitted to larger criminal conduct specifically with the defendant in this case he admitted that he had a several months long relationship with the defendant and that he was receiving four ounces which is equivalent to one hundred thirteen grams of methamphetamine at least weekly and more recently twice weekly as a result of the informant statements which he gave without a grant immunity he was actually actually charged with the conspiracy to distribute more than five hundred grams of math and thought i mean so not only did he make you know state statements against his penal interests those did materialize into actual charges against the defendant or in the informant now the cooperation the government admits is imperfect law enforcement received information interviewed the informant between about two am and drafted and  submitted the search warrant for issue at approximately eight am one of the record check on the record check show that hands are had a previous conviction for distribution of controlled substance at a conviction for unlawful use of a weapon and did have numerous other arrests and convictions related to a controlled substance and those again support a finding of probable cause because there was an indication that the defendant a identified by the informant and by the criminal history check indicates that the defendant was involved in criminal activity specific to narcotics now the cooperation in this case was the informant directing law enforcement to the defendant's home and that occurred by law enforcement taking the informant driving to cancer in missouri and then asking the informant to provide the street directions exits to take streets to take to get to the defendant's home and the informant did that in addition to the criminal history check that was dime the affidavit contains a statement by c i six forty eight which indicates that the confidential informant observed the defendant provide a gallon size bag of math and putting me into another individual the agents also included in the affidavit that they were familiar with the defendant based on previous investigations and  upon that in the affidavit these are agents working with the northeast missouri drug task force who are charged with investigating drug crimes now the government's contention is that the  affidavit provided sufficient information for a finding of probable cause however even under good faith the there is no reason to exclude the evidence in this case this specific affidavit is materially similar to all said and to address the appellant's position with regards to val this affidavit is not in any way shape or form similar to the affidavit and l and l there was no stablish ment of a relationship between the informant bell and that specific affidavit lacked any kind of detail the informant indicated that they saw drugs and money no quantities no information the informant in this case indicated he observed thirty pounds of marijuana in the house just thirty days before his arrest that he was aware that the defendant kept heroin marijuana and meth and fighting mean in the house that he saw a large stack of cash recently this information by this not the district court committed clear error in deciding if frank's violations occurred and the appellant's haven't truly argued that clear error existed at the district court level now the only two things that they raise on this appeal with regards to franks is an allegation that the timeline in terms of the informant visiting the defendant eighteen times within six months was incorrect and the second assertion is that with regards to a flushing incident at a previously executed search warrant at the defendant's house now the district or in the government's appendix page ninety eight the district court's opinion after a frank's hearing indicated that with regards to the timeline the statement was not material and the reality was what came out at the hearing was that there was continuous course of criminal conduct whether that kind of was three months a few months six months was not relevant to whether or not really fond residue drugs in the toilet and yes that's with regards to the flushing incident and that again in that instance the information wasn't entirely accurate what was contained in the affidavit made it seem as though the defendant flushed the drugs after the start of the execution of the search warrant what came out at the franks hearing was that that was a mistake captain nine years prior in two thousand and four she didn't review the reports and what actually came out was that the defendant was detained outside of his home prior to the execution of a search warrant but as your honor indicates there was circumstantial evidence to show that drugs were in flat in fact flushed down the toilet they were discovered at the end of the drainage pipe of the defendant's house in a low good and that only that home drained to and so the error in the finding of the search warrant received incorrect information from the captain he had no reason to know that that information was in correct and that's the issue and frank's not only does the misstatement or omission have to be material but it also has to be made with deliberate and reckless disregard for the truth which means that the officer has to question the validity or have dubious concerns about whether or not that in fact is truthful and the supreme court in frank's talks about what a truthful statement means it doesn't mean that everything in the affidavit has to be absolutely correct because affidavits are often based on hearsay statements of informants as well honor two points on the bottle first with regard to olson i think it's important to recognize that in all soon there was also actually a citizen complaint an anonymous citizen complaint that also corroborated the confidential informant in that case again bell was similar to this case a single confidential informant we do agree that there was a difference in level of detail but in olson the individual confidential informant indicated that there were two babies this court had concerns about exactly this a bit what type of quantity of baby and what have you but there was indications of drugs as well drugs in the premises as well as repeated observations of that in addition to the of the fact that the afghans reviewed intel reports from slant a law enforcement organization to also further corroborate the material review reports and be effectively reckless with their information but then pass that on to a second officer and a look at that immunize the information and with regard to the course of dealing of the six months three months it goes to the reliability of the confidential informant
