Michigan v. Anthony Michael Owen

Respondent was stopped for speeding in a residential street within the village, on a road with a 25 MPH sign going the other way, where almost all the rest of the village has 25 MPH signs. Five months later, the parties determined that state law set the speed limit at 55 MPH because the village had not modified the speed limit in the manner as then required by state law. The question is: Should this Court resolve a split on whether Heien v. North Carolina, 574 U.S. 54 (2014), applies to situations where the law (once discovered) is clear but the circumstances make applying it uncertain; or, put another way, should the exclusionary rule apply in this situation where there is no deliberate, reckless, or grossly negligent police conduct?
