The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Quiroga, 879 F.2d 866 (9th Cir. 1989):
With respect to the search of the vehicle, the allegations in the affidavit, particularly those relating to the events of October 1, 1987, the very day that the search warrant was executed, were sufficient for the magistrate to conclude that probable cause existed, that "there is a fair probability that contraband or evidence of a crime will be found in a particular place." 2 Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213, 238 (1983). With respect to the search of the house, little or no incriminating evidence was obtained and any error in admitting such evidence was harmless.
