As I've heard it explained by one expert, it basically amounts to them not getting rid of anything important. It's used more to reduce the number or severity of charges ("We found the cocaine and marijuana, but will drop the marijuana because it was an illegal search.") <br /><br />I suspect that their search was probably legal, though. If you watch the reality cop shows, felons are pretty creative in their hiding places.
