Imagine that you are a judge who is reviewing the exclusionary rule. The exclusionary rule was controversial when it was adopted in 1961 and remains so today. In a 1981 speech, President Reagan argued that it is absurd to throw an entire case out of court just because of a law enforcement error. You are having trouble because there is a case that you think may need to get thrown out due unconstitutional conduct, but the evidence that was previously admitted is important, and you are considering tolerating it the violation. How would you decide what to do, and why?
