What is the good faith exception in the context of a search warrant?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Embry, No. 14-30110 (9th Cir. 2015):
2. We cannot apply the good faith exception here because the officers did not act in good faith when they "seized evidence to the full extent of an overbroad warrant" by seizing evidence of drug trafficking, when there was not probable cause to support a search for evidence of drug trafficking. Cf. United States v. Luk, 859 F.2d 667, 677-78 (9th Cir. 1988)
