Therefore, the court declines to apply the Davis good faith exception. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sconet.state.oh.us\/rod\/docs\/pdf\/8\/2013\/2013-ohio-4188.pdf\">State v. Allen<\/a>, 2013 Ohio 4188, 997 N.E.2d 621 (8th Dist. 2013):<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[*P33]  Until the United States Supreme Court addresses questions left unanswered by Jones, specifically, what is the proper remedy when the governing law is unsettled, we will adopt a strict reading of Davis and apply the exclusionary remedy to suppress evidence gathered from a warrantless GPS initiative, because no binding precedent existed in our jurisdiction prior to Jones. Other jurisdictions have done the same. See United States v. Katzin, E.D. Pa. No. 11-226, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 65677 (May 9, 2012); United States v. Lujan, N.D. Miss. No. 2:11CR11-SA, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 95804 (July 10, 2012); United States v. Lee, E.D. Ky. No. 11-65-ART, 862 F. Supp.2d 560, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 71204 (May 22, 2012); and United States v. Robinson, E.D. Mo. No. S2-4:11CR00361AGF(DDN), 903 F. Supp. 2d 766, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 147793 (Oct. 15, 2012).<\/p>\n<p>[*P34]  The risk of institutionalizing a policy of permitting reliance on non-binding authority, particularly in the face of other, contrary non-binding authority, at least borders on being categorized as systemic negligence. Katzin, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 65677. Indeed, allowing the government the shelter of the good-faith exception in this case would encourage law enforcement to beg forgiveness, rather than ask permission, in ambiguous situations involving basic civil rights.
