[tor-talk] Senior US District Judge Leon Jordan rules against FBI in PlayPen case

[ITechGeek]

"Jordan allows the government to use the evidence gathered by the FBI in
the case against Scarbrough over the objections of defense attorney Gregory
P. Isaacs. Jordan used the “federal good-faith exception” to rescue the
evidence. Under that exception, if federal agents believed they were acting
under legal authority and did nothing illegal in their efforts to secure a
warrant, the evidence can still be used.

“(Isaacs’) objections that officers acted deliberately, recklessly or with
gross negligence and that it should have been apparent to law enforcement
that the Virginia magistrate lacked authority to sign the warrant are
simply unsupported by the record,” Jordan wrote."
