U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Fargo
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Bye and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Search and seizure of videotapes did not
exceed the scope of the search warrant; affidavit supplied in support of
the warrant application established probable cause for search for certain
images and metadata as evidence of child pornography crimes; even if the
warrant application was defective, the search was valid and the evidence
was admissible under the Leon good-faith exception to the exclusionary
rule; claim that the warrant application intentionally or recklessly
omitted key information rejected.
