How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • “The exclusionary rule should not be applied when ‘the official action was pursued in complete good faith’ because it would have no deterrent effect”
  • “The exclusionary rule should not be applied when ‘the official action was pursued in complete good faith’ because it would have no deterrent effect”
  • “[W]e have consistently looked to out-of-state cases when considering issues of first impression and have adopted the reasoning in those cases when the opinions were persuasive and on point.”
  • “good faith” exception did not apply to search of computer where “the search warrant did not describe the items to be searched on the computer with as much specificity as the detective’s knowledge and the circumstances allowed”
  • warrant that “did not contain any description or qualifiers of the ‘records and documents stored on the computer’” was impermissibly general as failing to “guide and control the searcher and to sufficiently narrow the category of records or documents subject to seizure”
  • “[T]he broad language of this search warrant clearly included items that were not subject to seizure. The search warrant permitted [law enforcement] to examine every record or document on [the defendant’s] computer in order to find any evidence of the alleged crimes.”
