Give three arguments in favor of the exclusionary rule as it currently stands, and three arguments against it. Then explain your position on the issue, supporting it with logical examples
What will be an ideal response?
Three arguments in favor of the exclusionary rule are (1) it deters violations of
constitutional rights by police and prosecutors? (2) it results in the freeing of the guilty
in only a relatively small proportion of cases? and (3) it has led to more
professionalism among the police and increased attention to training programs.
Three arguments against the exclusionary rule are (1) it is wrong to make society
pay for an officer's mistake? (2) it excludes the most credible, probative kinds of
evidence? and (3) it discourages internal disciplinary efforts by law enforcement
agencies. I believe the exclusionary rule should continue because there is strong
support that it deters police misconduct and has increased the professionalism of the
police.
