Issue: Whether a court seeking to determine if a source of
evidence is “genuinely independent” for purposes of the
“independent source” exception to the exclusionary rule
must ask whether the actual officers involved would have
sought the relevant evidence had the unlawful search
never taken place, or instead may ask only whether a
hypothetical reasonable officer would have sought the
relevant evidence had the unlawful search never taken
place.
