California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Valencia, 191 Cal.App.3d 1483, 237 Cal.Rptr. 128 (Cal. App. 1987):
We find further support for our decision based on the good faith demonstrated by the officers. (See United States v. Hicks, supra, 752 F.2d at p. 383.) This is evidenced by the fact that the officers had intended for the drug transactions to take place inside the informant's vehicle and not the apartment, a point which undercuts appellant's claim that police manufactured their own exigent circumstances. It is also evidenced by the fact that once inside apartment No. 19, they limited their search to those things which were in plain view.
