10100HB2134ham003- 6 -LRB101 09879 SLF 58046 a

1obtained current or future location information pertaining to a
2person or his or her effects in violation of Section 10 or 15
3of this Act, then the information shall be presumed to be
4inadmissible in any judicial or administrative proceeding. The
5State may overcome this presumption by proving the
6applicability of a judicially recognized exception to the
7exclusionary rule of the Fourth Amendment to the United States
8Constitution or Article I, Section 6 of the Illinois
9Constitution, or by a preponderance of the evidence that the
10law enforcement officer was acting in good faith and reasonably
11believed that one or more of the exceptions identified in
12Section 15 existed at the time the location information was
13obtained.
