Many states, including Colorado, have an initiative process where citizens get to propose policy and vote on it. In Colorado, recreational marijuana was legalized through the initiative process. There is also a process where citizens vote on questions that are "referred" to them by the legislature. We often see tax questions "referred" to voters in Colorado because of the stipulation in the Taxpayers Bill of Rights (TABOR) that citizens will vote on tax increases. Should we allow these tools of initiative and referendum to be used at the national level? What are the potential positives and negatives of such tools?

A. in weeks v. united states (1914), the court established the exclusionary rule, which was incorporated to the states in mapp v. ohio (1961), and the court established the concept of a "good faith exception" to the exclusionary rule in united states v. leon (1984). in their opinion, the supreme court pointed out that compliance with the exclusionary rule can have a cost to society (criminals can go free) that outweighs the benefits (stopping illegal searches by police). ultimately, the court determined that despite the exclusionary rule, evidence can still be admitted in situations where police made genuine "good faith" efforts to act legally, but technically acted illegally, in obtaining the evidence. explain the exclusionary rule good faith exception and explain and support whether you agree or disagree with the concept of a good faith exception to the exclusionary rule? why or why not? use the lesson notes and/or one news source to support your answer.
