Amends GS 15A-974 by removing the requirement that evidence be suppressed at criminal trial if it is obtained as a result of a substantial violation of the provisions of GS Chapter 15A (Criminal Procedure Act). Requests the North Carolina Supreme Court to reconsider and overrule its holding in State v. Carter that the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule, which exists under federal law, does not apply under state law.
