What is the Exclusionary Rule?

What will be an ideal response?


The exclusionary rule relates primarily to cases involving issues of search and seizure, arrests, interrogations, and stop-and-frisk violations.
The exclusionary rule originated with the 1914 case of Weeks v. United States, 232 U.S. 383 (1914). In 1920, Silverthorne Lumber Co. v. United States, 251 U.S. 385 (1920), also addressed the exclusionary rule. Although the Weeks and Silverthorne cases were virtually ignored by state courts, the subsequent Mapp decision (Mapp v. Ohio, 1961) expanded the scope of the exclusionary rule by applying it to both federal and state courts.
