Can a prosecutor argue the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule applies to a defendant's probation status based on information provided by the superior court?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Sorenson, B300436 (Cal. App. 2020):
Citing Arizona v. Evans (1995) 514 U.S. 1 (Evans), the prosecutor argued the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule applied because the deputies justifiably relied on information about appellant's probation status provided by the superior court. The information obtained by the police was incorrect, not through any error by law enforcement, but because of a clerical error by the superior court.
