Br. at 24. We think otherwise. To be sure, our precedents require a nexus between a defendant&#8217;s drug dealing and his residence before probable cause exists to search the residence. \u2026 But where probable cause exists to believe a defendant is dealing drugs, we have explained that \u2018little \u201cadditional evidence\u201d is generally required\u2019 before probable cause exists to search the defendant&#8217;s residence. \u2026 \u2018In some cases, the \u201cadditional evidence\u201d linking an individual&#8217;s suspected illegal activity to his home has thus come in the form of an affiant officer&#8217;s statement that certain evidence\u2014in his or her professional experience\u2014is likely to be found in a defendant&#8217;s residence.\u2019\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ca10.uscourts.gov\/sites\/ca10\/files\/opinions\/010111132454.pdf\">United States v.

Under this construction, the failure to pace a speeding car can never be the sole basis for finding a failure to proceed at \u2018the normal speed of traffic\u2019 in violation of \u00a7 28-721(B).
