Description
This case focuses upon the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule first articulated in United States v. Leon, 468 U.S. 897, 104 S.Ct. 3405, 82 L.Ed.2d 677 (1984); that case holds that the Fourth Amendment exclusionary rule does not preclude the use of evidence obtained by officers acting in objectively reasonable, good faith reliance on a facially valid search warrant issued by a detached and neutral magistrate but later determined to be unsupported by probable cause. The question before us is whether, under Leon, evidence of illegal lottery and gambling activities seized pursuant to a search warrant, which the State now concedes was not issued upon probable cause, was nevertheless admissible at trial under the good faith exception.
