Heading: 365's Reliability

Text: Although Morgan claims that the confidential informant was not past proven reliable, the affidavit stated that the informant provided information in the past that has been proven to be accurate. Additionally, CI 365 accurately predicted Morgan's movements. CI 365 told the police that VA would be heading to the Safeway in a maroon, older model Camry with a Virginia registration to participate in a drug transaction. The officers saw this car leave Dover East and turn onto the access road leading to the Safeway. This is the type of predictive information that may indicate an informant's reliability. [9] Under the totality of the circumstances, the affidavit's recitation that CI 365 had given reliable information in the past, and also of the predictive information supplied by CI 365, supports the determination that CI 365's tip provided sufficient probable cause for a magistrate judge to issue a warrant.
