Pierron, J.,
dissenting: I respectfully dissent. As the majority ably points out in its opinion, this is a close question. It would appear this is the kind of question for which United States v. Leon, 468 U.S. 897, 82 L. Ed. 2d 677, 104 S. Ct. 3405 (1984), was crafted. There is substantial evidence in support of probable cause, but there are some difficulties with making such a finding. Many search and seizure cases hinge on the individual facts. Such is the case here. There is no indication of an abandonment of neutrality by the magistrate. There is no showing of dishonesty by the police officers. I would sustain the original warrant.
