Is an affidavit that fails to provide any evidence indicating why an informant is "honest" or "reliable" insufficient to support probable cause?

The applicable rule is well established: An affidavit that fails to provide any information indicating why an informant is "honest" or "reliable" is insufficient to support probable cause.⁵ (Illinois v. Gates, supra, 462 U.S. at p. 227.) " 'An informant's veracity or trustworthiness may be established in a number of ways. If the informant has provided accurate information on past occasions, he may be presumed trustworthy on subsequent occasions. [Citation.] Veracity also may be established through admissions against penal interest. [Citations.] Finally, an informant's reliability may be demonstrated through independent police corroboration of the information provided.' " (People v. Terrones (1989) 212 Cal.App.3d 139, 146-147 (Terrones).)
