16    exception, but nothing in this subsection shall be deemed
17    to prevent a court from otherwise excluding the evidence on
18    any other ground recognized by State or federal law, nor
19    shall anything in this subsection be deemed to prevent a
20    court from independently reviewing the admissibility of
21    the evidence for compliance with the Fourth Amendment to
