Does the exclusionary rule apply when a search warrant is invalid?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Navarro, 24 F.3d 251 (9th Cir. 1994):
"When officers act in reasonable reliance on a search warrant issued by a neutral magistrate but ultimately found to be invalid," the exclusionary rule does not apply. United States v. Ramos, 923 F.2d 1346, 1353 (9th Cir.1991). If the supporting affidavit contains no information linking the suspect or any criminal activity to the place to be searched, an officer's reliance on the warrant is unreasonable. Id. at 1353-54 (citing United States v. Hove, 848 F.2d 137, 139 (9th Cir.1988)).
