What are the historic legal origins of the exclusionary rule?
What will be an ideal response?
The exclusionary rule originated with the 1914 case of Weeks v. United States, 232 U.S. 383 (1914). In the Weeks case, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously held that the warrantless seizure of items from a private residence constitutes a violation of the Fourth Amendment. In 1920, Silverthorne Lumber Co. v. United States, 251 U.S. 385 (1920), also addressed the exclusionary rule. It was a U.S. Supreme Court Case in which Silverthorne attempted to avoid paying taxes. Federal agents illegally seized tax books from Silverthorne and made copies of the records. The subsequent Mapp decision (Mapp v. Ohio, 1961) expanded the scope of the exclusionary rule by applying it to both federal and state courts.
