How courts have described this case

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

adding that, under such circumstances, \there [was] no reason why the independent source doctrine should not apply\
finding that the independent source doctrine applied where the government began reviewing evidence under a mistaken belief it could do so
Applying the independent source doctrine to illegally seized tapes where “[o]nce the district court expressed reservations about the legality of the review of the tapes, the government realized that a warrant was necessary.”
\What is key is that [law enforcement's unlawful conduct] did not result in the government obtaining evidence it would not have otherwise obtained.\
agents' decision to get warrant was prompted by the \obvious relevance\ of what might be on audiotape recordings, not by the agents' unlawfully listening to the recordings before getting a warrant
“the warrant application was prompted not by the prior review but by the obvious relevance of the tapes and the district court’s indication that a warrant was necessary”
