“the 'customary' phrase that the informant has provided information which 'has in the past resulted in arrests or convictions'”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[W]hen two independent informants both supply the same information about a particular crime to the police, each source tends inherently to bolster the reliability of the other. Although the information supplied by one questionable source may be insufficient, the probability is extremely small that a second independent source would supply identical information if it were not probably accurate. Such corroboration by independent sources produces the necessary reliability to establish probable cause.”
