Pre-Gant search incident was invalid under Gant, so Eleventh Circuit finds good faith exception saves the search. United States v. Davis<\/a>, 08-16654 (11th Cir. March 11, 2010):<\/p>\n

We are not the first court of appeals to consider this question, but the other circuits have split on the issue. In the aftermath of Gant, the Ninth and Tenth Circuits have reached opposite conclusions as to the exclusionary rule\u2019s application in cases like this one. Compare United States v. Gonzalez, 578 F.3d 1130 (9th Cir. 2009) (applying the exclusionary rule to a pre-Gant search), with United States v. McCane, 573 F.3d 1037 (10th Cir. 2009) (relying on the rule\u2019s good-faith exception and refusing to require the suppression of evidence), cert. denied, No. 09-402 (Mar. 1, 2010). Similarly, before Gant, the Fifth Circuit refused to apply the exclusionary rule when police had relied in good faith on prior circuit precedent, United States v. Jackson, 825 F.2d 853, 866 (5th Cir. 1987) (en banc), but the Seventh Circuit expressed skepticism about applying the rule\u2019s good-faith exception when police had relied solely on caselaw in conducting a search, United States v. 15324 County Highway E., 332 F.3d 1070, 1076 (7th Cir. 2003). We now enter the fray and hold that the exclusionary rule does not apply when the police conduct a search in objectively reasonable reliance on our well settled precedent, even if that precedent is subsequently overturned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
