MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Zavala-Serra, 855 F.2d 864 (9th Cir. 1988):
Because we hold that the officers possessed probable cause at the time of arrest, the evidence found pursuant to the search of appellant's person and baggage is admissible. Wong Sun v. United States, 371 U.S. 471, 484-88 (1963) (evidence obtained as fruits of illegal arrest is tainted by the arrest and may not be used against the defendant). Therefore, we need not reach the issues raised by the appellant regarding the sufficiency of the warrant affidavit.
