California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Neely, 70 Cal.App.4th 767, 82 Cal.Rptr.2d 886 (Cal. App. 1999):
[70 Cal.App.4th 789] Defendant contends the authorities "exploited" the tape because they played it in the course of prosecuting the case, in aid of establishing probable cause at the preliminary hearing. But they had no intention of deriving further evidence from the tape. (Cf. Gilbert v. California (1967) 388 U.S. 263, 271-272, 87 S.Ct. 1951, 1956, 18 L.Ed.2d
