| Sumario: | The writer examines the Supreme Court's recent expansion of the scope of the “good faith” exception to the exclusionary rule as it applies to court personnel responsible for maintaining information in a computerized database and the possible implications of this for law enforcement agencies. He suggests that the Court's possible extension of a “good faith” exception for police clerical personnel relies on whether law enforcement agencies create a worthy environment for such an exception. He examines the basis of the “good faith” exception to the exclusionary rule and its application to data entry personnel. He provides three important guidelines that should be followed by law enforcement managers in order to create a suitable environment for an expansion of the exception. |
