Aguilar v. Texas (1964) is a landmark Supreme Court case that established the standard for evaluating the reliability of informants' tips in relation to probable cause for search warrants. The Court ruled that merely stating that an informant is reliable is insufficient; the affidavit must also provide details about the informant's basis of knowledge and track record. This decision emphasized the need for law enforcement to demonstrate the credibility of informants to protect against unreasonable searches under the Fourth Amendment. The case ultimately reinforced the requirement for transparency and accountability in law enforcement practices.
