Practice question
An accused did not timely object to arrest irregularity but properly challenges evidence from an unreasonable search. The state says arrest waiver necessarily cures the search. Which is best?
- Arrest waiver always makes all evidence admissible
- A plea automatically creates valid consent to a past search
- The court must ignore the evidence issue entirely
- The claimed automatic cure is incorrect
- Any arrest defect automatically ends every prosecution
