Question:

A police officer in North Carolina stopped Nick’s car because it had a broken brake light. Nick allowed the officer to search the car and, during the search, the officer found cocaine. It turns out that the original stop was invalid because drivers in North Carolina are allowed to drive with only one brake light. The cop did not know the law. Does the exclusionary rule prevent the cocaine from being admissible in court?
