Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The exclusionary rule applies when evidence is obtained in violation of a defendant's Fourth Amendment rights. If Officer White did not have the pictures but lied to the magistrate about having seen the boxes, he acted in bad faith and obtained the search warrant through false information. Therefore, any evidence obtained from the search conducted with that warrant should be excluded under the exclusionary rule.
