Officer Jerry stops Bridget on the street because he thinks her haircut is unattractive. During a pat-down search, he finds marijuana in her pocket. He then uses the discovery of the marijuana to get a warrant to search her home for drugs. The search uncovers eight kilos of cocaine. If she challenges the admissibility of both drugs, how should the court rule

since the initial search was illegal (finding hair unattractive is not a valid use or reasonable suspicion) the drugs would be seized and inevitably burned or destroyed, but she would remain innocent
