Highlight

Actual drug evidence, rather than indicia of drugs, obtained from a garbage search, is enough to support probable cause for a search warrant.
Nighttime search warrants cannot be issued on a per se basis in drug cases. Facts supporting probable cause to justify the necessity of the nighttime execution must be set forth.
