Florida v. Jimeno, 500 U.S. 248 (1991), was a U.S. Supreme Court case involving the exclusionary rule of evidence under the Fourth Amendment.

[1][2] A police officer pulled over Enio Jimeno for a traffic violation after following him due to information that he may have been involved in a drug deal.

Since a reasonable person would expect narcotics to be carried in a container, and because the officer told Jimeno of his suspicions, the Court ruled that the officer acted within reason.

[1][2] This case grants law enforcement greater ability to conduct searches.

Evidence cannot be excluded from a case if it is deemed to have been discovered through reasonable means.
