Strieff, the Court ruled 5-3 that incriminating evidence discovered through an illegal police stop can be used if the suspect has an outstanding warrant, even if the warrant is for a minor crime like a traffic violation or unpaid parking ticket. In 2006 a Utah police officer saw Edward Strieff leaving a house suspected of drug activity. The officer stopped Strieff and demanded his ID as he was walking to a convenience store. After running a check for warrants the officer discovered Strieff had an outstanding arrest warrant for a minor traffic violation. The officer then arrested Strieff, searched him and discovered methamphetamine & drug paraphernalia in his pockets. The Court’s ruling chips away at what’s known as the exclusionary rule, which prohibits evidence obtained illegally by police from being used against a defendant in a criminal proceeding.
