1. “[w]e find no authority * * * which holds that “a bald and unilluminating assertion of suspicion” by the police based on information from an informer, without more, will provide probable cause to justify search and seizure. Where police have no idea who their informant is or how he received his information or on what his information is based, they cannot know whether the informant is credible or his information reliable, and, therefore, they can have no probable cause.”
