Edward Strieff argued against the officer and his evidence because the drugs found on Mr. Strieff were confiscated during an unreasonable stop. He stated that the stop and taking of evidence was illegal and would be unusable. The officer and his team disagreed. The state reacted by saying the exclusionary rule did not apply because the warrant that was filed the week prior to the confiscation on drugs. Edward Strieff would be arrested because a legal warrant existed.
