Houston police discovered "material untruths or lies" in an affidavit that was used for a drug raid search warrant.
The officer may have fabricated information from a non-existent informant in order to get a Judge to sign the search warrant.
In order to obtain a search warrant, an officer will typically write an affidavit for a Judge a review. If the warrant, by itself, provides probable cause for a search, such as a raid, then the Judge will sign it and approve the raid. The entire process depends almost entirely on the word of the officer.
Two people were killed during the raid and drugs and weapons were found in the home that was the target of the search.
