City of Kingman v. Ary

Summary

The court held that the good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule permitted admission of Ary's warrantless blood-test results, even though the implied-consent statute was later held unconstitutional. The arresting officer reasonably relied on the statute and existing legal precedent, so suppressing the evidence would not further the exclusionary rule's deterrent purpose. The court therefore affirmed both the Court of Appeals and the district court.
