Under what condition is evidence found admissible according to Herring vs. United States?

In Herring vs. United States, the key principle established is that evidence may be deemed admissible even if it is the result of an error in police records, provided that the officers acted in good faith. This situation typically arises when law enforcement relies on database information that later turns out to be incorrect, but their reliance was reasonable at the time. The ruling emphasizes the conduct of the officers rather than the technicality of the evidence being derived from erroneous information.

The good faith exception acknowledges that mistakes can occur within the criminal justice system, and if the officers genuinely believed they were acting in accordance with lawful procedures based on accurate information, the evidence obtained should not be automatically excluded. This principle helps to balance the need for effective law enforcement with the rights of individuals, allowing for certain leeway when unintentional errors arise.
