2. “in Gasset , the offenses observed by the police led them into the defendant's garage where an arrest on another charge was made. In the instant case, however, appellant's trespassing did not prompt the police to do anything; all of their actions were based upon the anonymous tip concerning the alleged drug offenses. In short, appellant's arrest and search was not `effected' by the trespass.”
