The following excerpt is from People v. Ingham, 5 Cal.App.4th 326, 6 Cal.Rptr.2d 756 (Cal. App. 1992):
Further, if the tainted evidence is removed from the warrant affidavit at issue here, the only evidence left is an anonymous allegation that drugs were purchased at defendant's residence. This evidence is insufficient to provide a neutral magistrate with probable cause to issue the warrant. (Cf. People v. Brown, supra, 210 Cal.App.3d 849, 858, 260 Cal.Rptr. 293.) Thus, the trial court properly suppressed the evidence seized pursuant to the warrant.
