Question
While the agents were present at 313 N.E. Brook, Joe, a neighbor, came over to direct the agents to a shed on Joe’s property that he had permitted the the people from 313N.E. Brook to use. The agents searched that shed finding marijuana. The crime lab compared known fingerprints of the people from 313 N.E. Brook to those found on the marijuana wrappings. The fingerprints matched. Should a judge allow the marijuana and the fingerprint evidence.
A Yes, because the evidence in the shed was obtained from a consent search separate from the search of 313 N.E. Brook.
B No, because the evidence found in the shed was tainted by the search from the house at 313 N.E. Brook.
C Yes, because the evidence in the shed was a result of the search at 313 N.E. Brook
D No, because the agents did not obtain a search warrant to search Joe’s shed.
