As long as police have such cause for arrest, they can search a suspect for the evidence that may convict him. But two Chicago policemen were sharply challenged in court in 1964 after they arrested one George McCray on a Chicago street corner, searched him and found heroin. At a pretrial hearing, the cops testified that they had been tipped off by a reliable informer, whom they refused to identify. McCray's lawyers demanded the informer's name...
