Mаshaney 160 Ill. App. 393-94.) Krull was substan tially based on the holding reasoning Leon which involved a of a private residence. While it is true that a private dwelling afforded generally protection more than commercial (Don ovan v. Dewey (1981), 594, 598-99, 2537-38), the protection is provided through meeting good-faith requirement, not by barring the application of the ex cеption altogether.
In applying the good-faith requirement bar, to the case I be- lieve the actions fell within the Krull exception to the exclusionary rule. It does not seem unreasonable for an officer to rely on an ordinance designed to enforce city’s building codes. The ap- plicable standard is that of officer,” a “reasonable not of an attorney, or other legal professional, trained to research the law. addition, it does not appear to me that the Village “wholly
