good faith exception in North Dakota

2020“The good faith exception to the exclusionary rule under the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution was recognized by the United States Supreme Court in United States v. Leon, 468 U.S. 897 (1984).” Dodson, at ¶ 20.

2020“The basis of the good faith exception is that if an officer reasonably relies on a warrant in good faith, there is no police misconduct to deter.” Id. (citing Leon, 468 U.S. at 916 ).

2015State v. Herrick , 1999 ND 1, ¶ 15 , 588 N.W.2d 847 (citing Leon , 468 U.S. at 923 ). [¶22] The purpose of the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule was, as noted in United States v. Conner : The rule in Leon is based on the theory that where there was been no police illegality, there is no conduct the courts need to deter and therefore no basis to enforce the exclusionary rule.

1999See United States v. Moore, 956 F.2d 843, 851 (8th Cir.1992) (finding the good-faith exception applied in a federal prosecution in which a Nebraska judge issued a no-knock warrant under a blanket rule permitting no-knocks in all drug cases).

1999We accordingly held “under federal precedent, the good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule would in fact apply to a no-knock warrant issued on a per se basis by a judge or magistrate under N.D.C.C. § 19-03.1-32(3).” Id. (citing United States v. Moore, 956 F.2d 843, 851 (8th Cir.1992)).

2007Herrick, at ¶ 15 (citing Leon, at 923, 104 S.Ct. 3405 ). "[W]hen reviewing an officer's reliance upon a warrant, we must determine whether the underlying documents are devoid of factual support, not merely whether the facts they contain are legally sufficient." United States v. McKneely, 6 F.3d 1447, 1454 (10th Cir. 1993) (internal quotation omitted). [¶ 33] Under the facts of this case, we conclude the good faith exception would apply because Deputy Bitz's reliance on the search warrant was objectively reasonable.

2004I am of the opinion that this case falls under the third exception to the good-faith exception; therefore, the good-faith exception cannot apply in this case. [¶ 41] In Richards , decided in April 1997, the United States Supreme Court held that “[i]n order to justify a ‘no-knock’ entry, the police must have a reasonable suspicion that knocking and announcing their presence, under the particular circumstances, would be dangerous or futile, or that it would inhibit the effective investigation of the crime by, for example, allowing the destruction of evidence.” 520 U.S. at 394 , 117 S.Ct. 1416 .

2015Under the good faith exception, evidence seized pursuant to a warrant, even if obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment, “should not be excluded when an officer has acted in good faith upon objectively reasonable reliance on the magistrate’s probable cause decision.” State v. Lunde, 2008 ND 142, ¶ 15 , 752 N.W.2d 630 .

2017We conclude the district court did not err in determining Timothy Brakke’s petition was a good faith challenge to Bradley Brakke’s capacity to create a trust. 2 [¶ 31] Bell State argues the settlement agreement did not provide a just and reasonable result. [¶ 32] In Wilson, 743 S.E.2d at 763 , the South Carolina Supreme Court explained that for the effect of a settlement to be just and reasonable the plan in a settlement agreement must defer to a testator’s intent unless a departure from that intent is reasonably necessary to protect the interest of the beneficiaries.

2017In Wilson, 743 S.E.2d at 759-60 (footnotes omitted), the South Carolina Supreme Court discussed the good faith requirement in the context of a settlement agreement in litigation raising an undue influence challenge to an estate plan consisting of a will and an irrevocable charitable trust: “The ‘good faith’ requirement has been variously interpreted, with jurisdictions applying definitions that can be categorized along a continuum from a subjective to an objective standard, and they have afforded the claims a level of scrutiny that is less than that given to ordinary contracts, up to what has

2015The district court relied on Kunkel ; however, the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule was not addressed in Kunkel . [¶ 26] In Vasey , law enforcement stopped the defendant for a routine traffic violation and arrested him on an. outstanding felony drug warrant. 834 F.2d at 787 .

2015The Leon Court made it very clear that the exclusionary rule should apply (i.e., the good faith exception should not apply) if the exclusion of evidence would alter the behavior of individual law enforcement officers or the policies of their department.” Id. (emphasis added). [¶ 27] The State urges this Court apply the analysis in United States v. Fletcher, 91 F.3d 48 (8th Cir.1996).

2015As the Supreme Court stated: “Penalizing the officer for the magistrate’s error, rather than his own, cannot logically contribute to the deterrence of Fourth Amendment violations.” The ultimate question under Leon is whether the officers “had an objectively reasonable basis to believe they were complying with applicable law and the Fourth Amendment. 127 F.3d 663, 667 (8th Cir.1997) (citations omitted).

2013However, what I do not join is the majority’s apparent leap from the lack of good faith under the good-faith exception to a determination of bad faith under the inevitable discovery doctrine. [¶86] This Court adopted the inevitable discovery exception to the exclusionary rule in State v. Phelps , 297 N.W.2d 769, 775 (N.D. 1980).

2008Id. [¶ 17] We will not decide whether the good faith exception applies because the State failed to raise the issue in the district court and it was not properly preserved for review.
