IANAL, but I'm pretty sure this article is wrong. The court applied the "good faith exception" and declined to vacate the defendants' convictions because of the lack of existing precedent at the time of the search warrant. But that doesn't mean it doesn't set precedent for future cases. You could argue that the holding was dictum and therefore not binding as precedent (I think?), but that doesn't mean future courts won't take it into account.
