Other than exclusion of evidence, what are some of the other consequences of police conduct that violates the Fourth Amendment? Provide examples. Are these other consequences enough to warrant the abandonment of the exclusionary rule? Explain your answer
What will be an ideal response?
Other consequences of police conduct that violates the Fourth Amendment are
seeking departmental discipline of officers that violate constitutional rights and suing
the officer and police department for violating those rights. These other
consequences are not enough to warrant the abandonment of the exclusionary rule.
They are more cumbersome, and involve actions in addition to the criminal
prosecution. Because such actions are civil in nature, they are more likely to drag
out longer than the criminal prosecution.
