The officers executing the warrant, however, were under the erroneous belief and understanding that such authorization was given as a result of the destruction request made in the warrant. It has been and is the custom and practice of law enforcement in the execution of search warrants resulting in the collection of materials used in the manufacture of methamphetamine to attempt to neutralize the materials and then destroy the materials due to their hazardous nature, inability to preserve and store the items safely and properly for evidentiary purposes, and to prevent injury from the materials. 10. The officers in the execution of the search warrant and in collecting the materials had a good faith belief that the items were to be destroyed pursuant to Court authorization, and did not act in bad faith when they proceeded with the destruction process and had the collected materials destroyed.”
