The judge states in the ruling that she relied in part on this Supreme Court decision:
"A person who has been aggrieved by an illegal search and seizure only through the introduction of damaging evidence secured by a search of a third person's premises or property has not had any of his Fourth Amendment rights infringed."
Prosecutors have long found our constitutional protections to be inconvenient in their pursuit of "justice". Over the years, however, they have managed to obtain Supreme Court decisions, like this one, that pierce through these protections in every meaningful way. This particular ruling opened up the floodgates, and it seems that the FBI is actively utilizing it.
