That is the official reason for the good faith exception, and perhaps it was 
developed in 'good faith.' That's not the issue. The issue is that in real 
life
court, the exception gives a bias to the police, a bias that shouldn't exist. 
In effect, what it says is that routine and constitutional procedure can be 
overrided because the cop is acting in 'good faith' ... 
If you'd like to educate yourself on an opposing point of view, rather than 
just judicial dogma, you can read "The Myth of the Good Cop and the 
Inadequacy 
of Fourth Amendment Remedies for Black Men: Contrasting Preumptions of 
Innocence and Guilt" by Robin K. Magee, a professor at Hamline University. 
Its 
a law review article, go look it up at the library.
