State of Minnesota v. Raenard Romalle Douglas

Syllabus

The good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule does not apply to a warrantless vehicle search based solely on the smell of marijuana that occurred before we issued our opinion in State v. Torgerson, 995 N.W.2d 164 (Minn. 2023), which held that the odor of marijuana alone is insufficient to create probable cause to search a vehicle under the automobile exception to the warrant requirement. Reversed and remanded.
