1. “It is true that the Arkansas Supreme Court, as well as this Court, has suggested, by way of dicta, that there may be exceptions to the general rule that the exclusionary rule is inapplicable in probation revocation proceedings. In Harris, we said that the exclusionary rule would be inapplicable in revocation proceedings “at least where there has been a good-faith effort to comply with the law.” 270 Ark. at 638, 606 S.W.2d at 95. In Dabney, supra, the court suggested that the exclusionary rule might be applicable if it appeared that the officers’ primary purpose was to seek revocation of the defendant’s probation. Other courts have suggested the possibility of a similar exception. See e.g., Bazzano, 212 F.2d at 832. Other suggested possible exceptions to the general principle that the exclusionary rule is inapplicable in probation revocation proceedings include cases involving harassment by the police, United States v. Farmer, 512 F.2d 160 (6th Cir. 1975), and official misconduct which shocks the conscience of the court. People v. Williams, 186 Colo. 72 , 525 P.2d 463 (1974).”
