Where police misconduct violates an individual right protected by the U.S. Constitution, the applicability of an exclusionary rule (and a court's ability to change the rule) can depend on the constitutional right violated. Do you feel that evidence that would be omitted due to such a violation be excluded even if the evidence would show clear guilt or innocence? Why or why not?

What will be an ideal response?


Responses should be related to the student's knowledge of the exclusionary rule and the exceptions to the rule.
