CROTHERS, Justice,
dissenting.
[¶ 40] I respectfully dissent.
[¶ 41] I believe a good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule exists under the North Dakota Constitution for the reason articulated by Justice Sandstrom in State v. Herrick, 1999 ND 1, ¶¶ 32-37, 588 N.W.2d 847 (Sandstrom, J., concurring). I would affirm the district court’s judgment based on that court’s analysis and determination that probable cause was lacking but that the good-faith exception applied. See Majority Opinion at ¶ 8. However, I do not join Justice Sandstrom’s dissent today because I disagree the search in this case was supported by probable cause. See Sandstrom, J., dissenting at ¶ 32.
[¶ 42] Daniel J. Crothers
