A New Jersey police officer lawfully stops Edmund for running a red light. A computer check indicates that there is an arrest warrant for Edmund, and the officer arrests him. (Unbeknownst to the officer, the computer information was outdated and the warrant was recalled a few days earlier.) As part of the arrest, the officer frisks Edmund and finds cocaine. At Edmund's trial the cocaine will be: 

A. Admitted because the officer reasonably relied on the information in the computer and because the purpose of the exclusionary rule would not be fulfilled by excluding the evidence. 

B. Admitted as the mistake was not made by the police but was made by another government official and it would be unfair to penalize the police if the police did not make the mistake. 

C. Admitted under the "Good Faith" exception rule. 

D. Not admitted because there was not probable cause to arrest the individual.
