    The good faith exception is such bullshit.

    I don’t get a good faith exception if I truly thought that the speed limit was actually 75 instead of 55, even if my phone and car told me that was the case.

    It doesn’t even make sense to me in a mental gymnastics way, like, just because I tried hard and was honest, doesn’t make a warrant any more or less valid.

      If you have a decent lawyer this is possible I’m pretty sure. Essentially the wealthy do get a good faith exception.

        There’s an income level that lets you do “weekend jail” on your fifth DUI.

        If you are Sarah Stitt, wife of Oklahoma’s Governor, you won’t even get the DUI. Just stumble drunkenly out of that state vehicle (which you aren’t supposed to be using, but you’ve got the Republican princess pass), insist that you are married to the Governor, and they won’t even charge you!
