Officer Allen obtained a search warrant for Dan's apartment after he arrested him for possession of stolen televisions. He obtained a key from the apartment building's manager. Officer Allen knew that Dan was in jail, so he let himself in with the key and did not knock. As soon as he was in the door he checked all the rooms to make sure no one would ambush him. While doing so, he found an illegal assault rifle in the back of a clothes closet in Dan's bedroom. He spent an hour searching the small apartment. He did not find any stolen televisions, but he did find counterfeit $20 bills in a wallet on top of Dan's dresser. Will the counterfeit $20 bills be admissible if Dan is charged in federal court with possession of counterfeit money?
