Be sure to review Chapter 10 and or the PPT to obtain a good grasp of the Exclusionary Rule and Good Faith Exception. In your text the State v. Lawson case was reviewed. In that case, a search warrant was issued even though the affidavit submitted did not state all the facts as they actually occurred and were known to the officer preparing the affidavit. As a result, the search warrant did not satisfy the probable cause requirement. The U.S. Court of Appeals held the good faith exception inapplicable.

Critically analyze the circumstances of the Hooks case.

Respond to the following questions:

• Do you think the affidavit submitted by the officers to the issuing magistrate was sufficient to support a finding of good faith? Explain your rationale?
• Do you think the information known to the officer but not conveyed to the magistrate has any relevance to the validity of the search? Explain your rationale
