Exclusionary Rule Use
À propos de cet e-book
The text reveals how illegally seized evidence or confessions obtained without Miranda warnings can undermine a prosecutor's case.
The book traces the rule's origins from common law to landmark Supreme Court cases like Weeks v. United States and Mapp v. Ohio, illustrating how judicial attitudes have evolved regarding individual rights versus law enforcement needs. It argues that the exclusionary rule, while intended to protect individual liberties and deter police misconduct, creates a balancing act within the legal system.
The book systematically examines the rule's definition, its application across various legal contexts, exceptions like ""inevitable discovery"" and ""good faith,"" and its impact on case outcomes, offering a balanced analysis of its strengths and weaknesses.
This approach allows readers to develop informed opinions about this controversial yet vital component of constitutional law.
