Can a motion to suppress evidence obtained with an invalid search warrant be denied if the officers who obtained the evidence had a reasonable belief in its validity?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Rutherford, 993 F.2d 886 (9th Cir. 1993):
"A motion to suppress evidence obtained with an invalid search warrant may be denied if the officers who obtained the evidence had a reasonable belief in its validity." United States v. Brown, 951 F.2d 999, 1004 (9th Cir.1992). The good faith exception does not apply where the issuing magistrate abandons his judicial role. Id.; see also United States v. Leon, 468 U.S. 897, 923 (1984).
