3 later decisions quote this exact passage““Although an affidavit may be based on hearsay information and need not reflect the direct personal observations of the affiant, Jones v. United States, 362 U. S. 257 , 80 S. Ct. 725 , 4 L. Ed. 2d 697 , [78 A. L. R. 2d 233] the magistrate must be informed of some of the underlying circumstances from which the informant concluded that the narcotics were where he claimed they were, and some of the underlying circumstances from which the officer concluded that the informant, whose identity need not be disclosed, see Rugendorf v . United States, 376 U. S. 528 , 84 S. Ct. 825 , 11 L. Ed. 2d 887 , was ‘credible’ or his information ‘reliable’. Otherwise, ‘the inferences from the facts which lead to the complaint’ will be drawn not ‘by a neutral and detached magistrate’, as the Constitution requires, but instead, by a police officer ‘engaged in the often competitive enterprise of ferreting out crime’, Giordenello v. United States, supra, 357 U. S. at 486, [78 S. Ct. at 1250], 2 L. Ed. 2d at 1509; Johnson v. United States, supra, 333 U. S. at 14, [68 S. Ct. at 369], 92 L. Ed. at 440, or, as in this case, by an unidentified informant.” 378 U. S. at 115 , 12 L. Ed. 2d at 729 .”
