Gonzalez and Garcia, 35 FLW 1402, 2nd DCA, Search warrant - Facts as alleged in pc affidavit, which reference uncorroborated tip that the def's were allegedly growing marijuana and selling cocaine, failed to demonstrate reasonable probability that contraband would be found in the residence at the time the warrant was issued. Info contained in the tip was received more than 3 months before warrant issued was stale. Def possession of one gram of cocaine on her person during a traffic stop did not suggest a fair probability that the def was selling cocaine from her home. Good faith exception to warrant requirement does not apply where objectively reasonable officer would have known affidavit was insufficient to establish probable cause.
