The inevitable discovery exception allows evidence to be admitted if it would have been found through lawful means anyway, even if it was seized by unconstitutional means in the first place. The good faith exception allows evidence to be admitted if law enforcement believed their actions were legal at the time. The grand jury exception is not applicable in this context as it relates to the use of illegally obtained evidence in a grand jury proceeding. The impeachment exception allows for evidence to be used to challenge the credibility of a witness.
