Diminishing the scope of the exclusionary rule

Reference no: EM133596179

Over time, the United States Supreme Court has been diminishing the scope of the exclusionary rule. For example, evidence is admissible in court if the police officers acted in good faith by first obtaining court approval for their search, even if the warrant they received was deficient or faulty. This action has come to be known as the good faith exception.

In criminal cases where evidence was seized illegally and where the good faith exception is not applicable, the evidence becomes inadmissible.

- Is society better served through this action?

- Does society's greater good outweigh any need to admit the illegally obtained evidence at trial?

- Does admission of the evidence support/enhance personal liberty/protection from unreasonable search and seizure? Is it better to let one guilty person go free in order to benefit and protect society as a whole?
