Miguel Rodriguez, Petitioner v. State of Florida, Respondent — Canady, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Canady, dissenting, would have approved the decision under review because the invalid consent search did not preclude application of the inevitable discovery doctrine. He reasoned that the police would inevitably have sought a warrant based on information from the bondsmen and that suppression would not further the exclusionary rule's deterrent purpose. The dissent rejects a categorical requirement that police initiate the warrant process before relying on inevitable discovery.
