Police Officer Wesson stopped a car that met the description of one supposedly driven away by two suspects from the scene of a burglary. He arrested both occupants and searched the car, finding illegal weapons in the trunk. It turns out the vehicle description was wrong and that Wesson arrested the wrong men. Nevertheless, should Officer Wesson’s arrest come under the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule? Use course material to support your position.
