*229MURPHY, Chief Judge,
dissenting.
On the facts of this case, giving full sway to the intended reach of the “good faith” exception so clearly articulated in United States v. Leon, 468 U.S. 897, 104 S.Ct. 3405, 82 L.Ed.2d 677 (1984), I would affirm the judgment for the reasons stated by the Court of Special Appeals. The arresting officer’s conduct was objectively reasonable. To exclude the evidence in this case does not further the ends of the exclusionary rule in any appreciable way. While I share the majority’s concern that the police-operated computer should promptly reflect the satisfaction of an outstanding warrant, I do not believe that the delay in this case amounts to such police misconduct or negligence as warrants the result reached by the Court. See e.g., Connelly v. State, 322 Md. 719, 589 A.2d 958 (1991). Nothing in Whiteley v. Warden, upon which the majority places such stress, mandates the reversal of the judgment in this case.
