Bryan v. State - 7th COA

Evidence of a crime committed during an illegal detention is not barred by the exclusionary rule. The alleged illegality of an arrest is irrelevant to any crime committed during the arrest. Evidence that the defendant destroyed a crack pipe did not exist before the arrest and therefore could not be obtained in violation of the law. Bryan v. State, 07-05-0461-CR [1].
