MN Supreme Court determines Exclusionary Rule applies to Civil Forfeitures

The Anderson Law Firm is once again victorious at the Minnesota Supreme Court. Earlier today, the Minnesota Supreme Court issued its decision today in Garcia-Mendoza v. 2003 Chevy Tahoe, et al, and held that the 4th Amendment Exclusionary Rule does apply to civil forfeitures. Kirk M. Anderson represented Mr. Garcia-Mendoza in this matter.

The decision reverses a prior decision of the Minnesota Court of Appeals. The matter will be remanded back to the Minnesota Court of Appeals for further consideration. Read the decision here.
