Some courts have concluded that it is so obvious that criminals keep the fruits and implements of their criminal activities in their homes that it is not necessary for affiants to even mention that fact in their affidavits when obtaining a search warrant for a criminal's residence.
Hearsay evidence, secondary sources, as well as conjectural or analytical statements by the affiants themselves were expunged, while fieldworkers attended regular workshops to sharpen their critical faculties.
