2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Yet, an anonymous tip “is devoid of any of the underlying circumstances from which [an] officer can conclude that the informant was credible and his information reliable.” State v. Ward, 62 Haw. 509, 511 , 617 P.2d 568, 570 (1980).

Temple, 65 Haw. 261, 271 , 650 P.2d 1358, 1364 (1982); State v.Joao, 55 Haw. 601, 603-04 , 525 P.2d 580, 582-83 (1974).”
