2018State v. Lee, 2005-2098 (La. 1/16/08), 976 So.2d 109 , 127, cert. denied, 555 U.S. 824 , 129 S.Ct. 143 , 172 L.Ed.2d 39 (2008), citing United States v.

2025If an officer executing a search warrant has no reason to believe his conduct is unlawful because he reasonably relies on the magistrate’s 10 judgment in making the probable cause determination, the exclusionary rule “cannot logically contribute to the deterrence of Fourth Amendment violations.” Leon, 468 U.S. at 920-21 , 104 S.Ct. at 3419 .

2023This Court recognized that the exclusionary rule “is designed to deter police misconduct rather than to punish the errors of judges and magistrates,” citing United States v. Leon, 468 U.S. 897 , 104 S.Ct. 3405 , 82 L.Ed.2d 677 (1984).

2025Whether application of the exclusionary rule is justified requires “an assessment of the flagrancy of the police misconduct,” and whether “the law enforcement officer had knowledge, or may be properly charged with knowledge, that the search was unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment.” State v. McClendon, 13-1454, p. 5 (La.App. 4 Cir. 1/30/14), 133 So.3d 239, 245 (quoting Herring v. United States, 555 U.S. 135, 143 , 129 S.Ct. 695, 701-02 , 172 L.Ed.2d 496 (2009)).

2020State v. Maxwell, 09-1359 (La. App. 1 Cir. 5/10/10), 38 So.3d 1086, 1092 , writ denied, 10-1284 (La. 9/17/10), 45 So.3d 1056 (citing State v. Shannon, 472 So.2d 286, 291 (La. App. 1 Cir. 1985), writ denied, 476 So.2d 349 (La .1985) 69 As previously explained, the exclusionary rule bars any physical and verbal evidence obtained either during or as a direct result of an unlawful invasion; evidence collected pursuant to a valid search warrant is patently not an unlawful invasion.

1988This court observed through Judge Guidry that: "The Leon exception to the exclusionary rule was applied by our brethren of the First Circuit in State v. Shannon, 472 So.2d 286 (La.App. 1st Cir.1985); by our brethren of the Second Circuit in State v. Wood, 457 So.2d 206 (La.App. 2nd Cir.1984); and by our brethren of the Fifth Circuit in State v.

1993In the present case the deterrent purpose of the exclusionary rule would not be promoted in any way by suppressing the inherently trustworthy evidence, seized pursuant to a warrant issued on the basis of probable cause that actually existed and was known by the issuing magistrate, simply because the affiant withheld from the affidavit, in complete good faith and for a seemingly valid purpose, certain information that was favorable to a finding of probable cause. [7] Furthermore, the error in this case was made by the magistrate who issued the warrant, without being misled by the officer, on th

2023First, pursuant to State v. Prieur, 277 So.2d 126 (La. 1973), the State must provide written notice to the defendant of the acts it intends to prove along with the exception to the exclusionary rule upon which it relies.

2020Pursuant to State v. Prieur, 277 So.2d 126 (La. 1973), the State must provide written notice to the defendant of the acts it intends to prove, along with the exception to the exclusionary rule upon which it relies.

2025In Pullin v. Louisiana State Racing Comm’n, 484 So. 2d 105, 106 (La. 1986), this Court explained: In United States v. Janis, 428 U.S. 433 , 96 S.Ct. 3021 , 49 L.Ed.2d 1046 (1976), the Supreme Court set forth a framework for deciding in what types of proceeding application of the exclusionary rule is appropriate.

2016Specifically finding the exclusionary rule does not apply in Civil Service hearings and employing the balancing test employed in Pullin v. Louisiana State Racing Comm’n, 484 So.2d 105 (La.1986) and Skinner v. City of Natchitoches Police Department, 12-819 (La.App. 3 Cir. 2/6/13) (unpublished opinion), 2013 WL 440534 , the trial judge found a social benefit of excluding the evidence to be that public employees will be put on notice of what the policy dictates as acceptable behavior.

2024State v. Davis, 375 So.2d 69, 73 (La. 1979) (citing Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643 , 81 S.Ct. 1684 , 6 L.Ed.2d 1081 (1961)) (additional citation omitted); see also La.

1988The State argues that since the exclusionary rule does not apply to revocation hearings, State v. Davis, 375 So.2d 69 (La.1979), the revocation can be justified by proof of defendant’s arrest in possession of controlled substances.

2013Finally, the Court recognized in Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643, 647 , 81 S.Ct. 1684, 1687 , 6 L.Ed.2d 1081 (1961) that in holding the exclusionary rule applicable to states, "constitutional provisions for the security of person and property should be liberally construed ....

2005Thus, as expressed in federal jurisprudence examining the propriety of the imposition of the exclusionary rule in various contexts, the exclusionary rule operates as "a judicially created remedy designed to safeguard Fourth Amendment rights generally through its deterrent effect, rather than a personal constitutional right of the party aggrieved." United States v. Leon, 468 U.S. 897 , 104 S.Ct. 3405 , 82 L.Ed.2d 677 (1984), citing United States v. Calandra, 414 U.S. 338, 348 , 94 S.Ct. 613 , 38 L.Ed.2d 561 (1974); see also New York v. Harris, 495 U.S. 14 , 110 S.Ct. 1640 , 109 L.Ed.2d 13 (1990

2013The exclusionary rule reaches not only primary evidence obtained as a direct result of an illegal search or seizure, but also evidence later discovered and found to be derivative of illegality, or “fruit of the poisonous tree.” State v. Nicholas, 06-903, p. 6 (LaApp. 5 Cir. 4/24/07), 958 So.2d 682, 686-87 (quotation omitted).

2012The exclusionary rule reaches not only primary evidence obtained as a direct result of an illegal search or seizure, but also evidence later discovered and found to be derivative of illegality, or “fruit of the poisonous tree.” See State v.

1989We recognized this exception in State v. Wood, 457 So.2d 206 (La.App. 2d Cir.1984), where we stated: "The exclusionary rule should not be applied so as to bar the use in the prosecution's case-in-chief of evidence obtained by officers acting in an objectively reasonable good-faith reliance on a search warrant issued by a detached and neutral magistrate but ultimately found to be invalid." * * * * * * "The court enumerated four exceptions to the `good-faith' exception, or instances in which suppression `remains an appropriate remedy': 1) if the magistrate or judge in issuing a warrant was misle

1988Compare factually State v. Chaffin, 324 So.2d 369 (La.1975), and State v. Tate, supra. SEARCH OF CAR Doherty contends the search warrant affidavit did not establish probable cause to search her car and was so lacking in indicia of probable cause with respect to the car that it cannot be upheld even under the "good faith" exception to the exclusionary rule recognized under the Fourth Amendment in U.S. v. Leon, 468 U.S. 897 , 104 S.Ct. 3405 , 82 L.Ed.2d 677 (1984), and under Art. 1, § 5 of the Louisiana Constitution in State v. Wood, 457 So.2d 206 (La.

2012In State v. Hill, 97-2551 (La.11/6/98), 725 So.2d 1282, 1283-84 , the Louisiana Supreme Court discussed the exclusionary rule: The primary purpose of the exclusionary rule is to deter future impermissible police conduct.

2004Instead, he contends that the trial court should not have followed State v. Hill, 97-2551 (La.11/16/98), 725 So.2d 1282 , because to do so allowed the police in this case to circumvent the purpose of the exclusionary rule, which is to deter police misconduct.

2024Under the inevitable discovery doctrine, “[b]ecause the tainted evidence would be admissible if in fact discovered through an independent source, it should be admissible if it inevitably would have been discovered.” State v.
