Colorado Revised Statutes Title 19. Children's Code § 19-2.5-906. Admissibility of evidence--legislative declaration--definitions

(1) It is the intent of the general assembly that, when evidence is sought to be excluded from the trier of fact in a delinquency proceeding because of the conduct of a peace officer leading to its discovery, such evidence should not be suppressed if otherwise admissible when the proponent of the evidence can show that the conduct in question was taken in a reasonable, good-faith belief that it was proper. It is further declared to be the general assembly's intent to identify the characteristics of admissible evidence and not to address or attempt to prescribe court procedure.

(2) For purposes of this section:

(3) The court shall not suppress evidence sought to be excluded in a delinquency proceeding because of the conduct of the peace officer leading to its discovery if the court finds that the evidence was seized by the peace officer as a result of a good-faith mistake or a technical violation and the evidence is otherwise admissible.

(4) The court shall not supress  1 in a delinquency proceeding evidence that is obtained as a result of a confession voluntarily made in a noncustodial setting if the evidence is otherwise admissible.

(5) It is prima facie evidence that the conduct of the peace officer was taken in the reasonable good-faith belief that it was proper if there is a showing that the evidence was obtained pursuant to and within the scope of a warrant, unless the warrant was obtained through intentional and material misrepresentation.
