President Bushs May 15 anti crime package mixes familiar elements with new proposals. It includes a reform idea supported by Strom Thurmond to create a general good faith exception to the exclusionary rule, allowing evidence seized under a reasonable belief of constitutional search or seizure to be admitted. The plan faces opposition from the ACLU which warns of strong objections.
