State v. Bridges
Hawaii Supreme Court
925 P.2d 357 (1996)
- Written by Mary Phelan D'Isa, JD
Facts
Fred Douglas Bridges and Timothy Lamar Bradley (defendants) were indicted on drug charges in Hawaii based on evidence obtained using audio-visual equipment in California that recorded the drug transaction. Bridges and Bradley filed a motion to suppress the California evidence. The use of the audio-visual equipment violated neither the United States Constitution nor the California Constitution. The trial judge, however, determined that the use of the equipment violated a Hawaiian statute and granted Bridges and Bradley’s motion to suppress the evidence. The prosecution appealed.
