1. “Although we appreciate the difficulties the police face in balancing effective law enforcement with complex Fourth Amendment rules, illegal entries into homes cannot be sanitized by the simple expedient of seeking warrants after the illegal entry has occurred and the police are confident that contraband can be found. Moreover, failure of the police to disclose the ongoing search and seizure in their affidavit for the search warrant frustrated the very purpose of the warrant requirement — to place a neutral magistrate between the public and police conduct. See United States v. Allard, 634 F.2d 1182 (9th Cir.1980). ... Absent exigent circumstances, when a defendant establishes that the state illegally entered his home, evidence discovered from such entry must be suppressed even though a search warrant is obtained prior to the actual discovery and seizure of the evidence. The motion to suppress evidence seized from defendant’s residence was properly granted.”
