“the exclusionary rule has been attacked ever since its recognition, but no one has ever summarized the frustration… better than Justice Cardozo… when he lamented: ‘The criminal is to go free because the constable has blundered.’” (Kanovitz, p. 236)
Do you agree with the general policy reasons behind the acceptance of the exclusionary rule? Why or why not?
Be sure to back up your answer with support from the textbook, cases, and/ or other course resources.
So, I do agree with the policy reasons behind acceptance of the exclusionary rule. Fruit of the poisonous tree, etc.
Feel free to ask me any questions you may have.
Thank you!
