I was thinking more along the line of say a pile of stereo equipment and the officers knew that a store had lots of stereo equipment stolen recently...so not necessarily seeing "crack" in the house but the lesser reasonable suspiction and then incident to his arrest and officer checks a serial number...I dunno it is all hypothetical and it is 4 am
