“Had acted in good faith”

Seems like there’s no point in having the constitution if a violation of it has no effect.

The effect is going to be on the issuance or not of new warrants going forward in this domain.

The police could not have foreseen this ruling. It was not previously known that such warrants were unconstitutional. Now we know. Now judges are not to issue such warrants.

>Now judges are not to issue such warrants.

But if they do, the warrants' harvest of evidence will still not be poisoned, because good faith?

There is no good faith protection once the case law is set.

But why does that never work the same why for the individual that does a (supposed) crime?
