You stop a car for having no taillights and the car is properly registered, and the male driver has a valid driver's license and insurance. Your partner tells you this person "gives him a bad feeling" and subsequently orders him out of the car. Your partner searches the car and finds a handgun under the front seat; he arrests the driver. At the station, the serial number of the gun is run through the computer and a hit is received indicating the gun was used in a homicide. When confronted with this, the suspect confesses. Your partner, knowing the search was illegal, fears the evidence of the gun and confession will be inadmissible in court. Your partner says he is going to write in the report that the gun was in "plain view" and tells you to go along with this so a murderer will not be back on the street. What would you do? please help! :(
