Can you find a case where evidence obtained by a security guard, bounty hunter etc. was used convict?

I need 2 cases that show how the exclusionary rule (evidence obtained by a person who is not law enforcement is admissible in court even if it's an illegal search since it wasn't done by a cop) was used to convict a person of a crime.

I'm studying the case of Burdeau v. McDowell and how the U.S. Supreme Court ruled any incriminating evidence that is obtained during an illegal search by any non-law enforcement private party, security officer, bounty hunter and the like, is admissible in criminal and civil court.

    it is my rebuttal. I settle for the actual undeniable reality that the DNA sequencing is so heavily matched between human beings and chimpanzees. I even haven't any problem with that by any skill. That reported, precisely WHAT Alien DNA might want to you've accessible to make the declare that there is that common ancestry. So i will so, what you reported would not artwork besides: you're an artwork historian/conosseur. you're confronted with an project. A painiting has been latest in a persons'' basement without, for some reason, a signature. Your boss' have self assurance that the artist is, say, a guy by technique of the call of Michaelangelo besides the indisputable fact that it is your interest to authenticate that. "by technique of George", it truly is a Michaelangelo, you proclaim. Why? Did the finished guy smack you on the pinnacle and say "good day, that is MY artwork"? No. You regarded the artist because in his different artwork you've considered common threads: using sunshine, the kind of strokes, the thems, etc. you may even take the representation and picture of a way clothier and how women can comprehend a gown as being from one clothier or yet another because of recognizable good factors. questioning alongside those traces, is it that puzzling to settle for that "the Grand author" might want to truly have commonalities in his creation? reply certainly. ============ Brook: ok I concede the Michaelangelo aspect. i'm honest that way. So %. an artist of decision. Renoir perhaps. ?? :) and convinced there are artists who attempt to reproduction the masters, besides the indisputable fact that the masters themselves continuously stand out, do not they? and that i will completely understand your wanting to be particular. My competition, besides the indisputable fact that, is that you'll nicely be particular in case you truly regarded with an open ideas. I loved this debate aspect btw. :)
