You can only contest the admission of evidence if it was discovered in violation of your OWN 4th Amendment rights. Corrine's 4th Amendment rights would be violated, and thus the evidence would not be admissible against Corrine, but since Vic doesn't live there anymore, and since he gave that money to Corrine, the evidence would be perfectly admissible against Vic.
The standing doctrine is, in my opinion, utter B.S. It allows police to go on a rampage, violating constitutional rights left and right, and get away with it, so long as they don't use the evidence they discover against anyone who has standing to contest the admission of the evidence.

Was I the only one dreading that the episode would end with the sound of a gun shot over the credits leaving us to wonder if Vic had shot Shane or someone had shot Vic?
Absolutely great episode! Those last 5 minutes were intense. I'm having a hard time trying to decide if this season is better than the 2nd one or not. Last season, while good, just didn't feel as good to me as the first two, but this one is right up there in overall quality.
It must take some big-ass balls for the police chief to move into the neighborhood...

The Shane/Vic argument that ended last season was far more intense than this weeks, and it involved no guns or threat of violence...only hurt feelings, which makes it even more impressive.
