Probably coulda used an example that isn't itself a fourth amendment violation that essentially requires perjury to accomplish. Also less euphemistically called evidence laundering. Not really a neutral example.

A more charitable case is that the source cannot be disclosed because it's an undercover agent or informant. What the parent describes is indeed evidence laundering.
I was in fact thinking of informants but was a bit fuzzy on my facts so I demured. Sorry it came out a bit of hashed.
So are you going to go out and commit a crime because a random person used a crime as an analogy?
