Justice ROBINSON,
concurring.
After a considerable amount of time spent reviewing the pertinent cases and in applying their teachings to the facts of the instant case, I have decided that I am able in good conscience to concur in the result reached by the majority. I consider this to be an extraordinarily close case — one in which the “correct” answer was by no means apparent.at the outset. What in the end convinced me that probable cause was lacking is the fact that, after considering the other factors in a totality of the circumstances review, I was struck by the reality that there is no indication in the record before us that the firstvtime informant advised the police of the basis for his or her assertion that the defendant would be at the Royal Buffet in possession of crack cocaine.
