Anonymous Tips

Mini course on the Fourth Amendment doctrine for tips from anonymous and identifiable sources. Built around Florida v. J.L., Alabama v. White, reliability factors, basis of knowledge, and corroboration.

Anonymous Tips is the focused mini course on the Fourth Amendment doctrine that governs how officers can act on tips from anonymous and identifiable sources. The course covers the corroboration framework for anonymous tips, the reliability-and-basis-of-knowledge test for identifiable tipsters, the special rules for tips involving home entries, and the modern issues with social media and anonymous tip lines.

The course is organized around four lessons that walk through unidentifiable tipsters (Florida v. J.L. versus Alabama v. White), identifiable tipsters, tips involving homes, and a deep-dive live webinar on the close calls.

After completing this course, you will be able to evaluate any tip against the right doctrinal framework, articulate the corroboration, recognize when a tip will support a detention versus only a warrant, and handle the close calls that come up with anonymous sources.
