The good-faith exception is an exception to the exclusionary rule, which allows evidence obtained by police during an investigation or search to be introduced at trial even if the search violated the Fourth Amendment, if the police officer acted in good faith belief that their actions were constitutional. If a police officer obtains a search without a warrant based on the consent of a third party who he or she reasonably believes has the authority to give consent, the evidence obtained may be admissible under the good-faith exception.
