How later courts describe this case

  • rational basis for admission of evidence otherwise subject to exclusionary rule exists . . .
  • rational basis for admission of evidence otherwise subject to exclusionary rule exists, because “the state has a legitimate interest in accurate factfinding in probation revocation proceedings” [emphasis added]
  • despite "a strict standard for modification of consent decrees between private parties, this standard is inappropriate in institutional reform litigation for 'the unique nature and demands of institutional reform litigation necessitate a more flexible approach to modification' "
  • criminal conviction more than enough to revoke probation
  • inapplicability of the exclusionary rule
