E.D.Mich.: Two affidavits of 51 and 72 pages showed they were not “bare bones” and GFE applied

“In this case, Special Agent Dosch, a 22-year veteran of the DEA, submitted a 51-page and 72-page detailed affidavit in support of the search warrants which were based on surveillance, information from confidential informants, financial records, evidence including drug contraband and large amounts of currency obtained through other seizures, drug ledgers, text messages, and other evidence. The agents obtained search warrants, which did not contain false information, were not ‘bare bones,’ and were not so facially deficient as to render the agents’ reliance upon them to be unreasonable. … Therefore, even if the search warrants were not sufficiently supported by probable cause, the court applies the good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule.” United States v. Attisha, 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 46798 (E.D. Mich. Mar. 21, 2019).*
