The Exclusionary Rule prevents evidence obtained in violation of the 4th Amendment from being used in a criminal trial. For example, if police found 10 kilograms of cocaine in a car trunk without a warrant or probable cause, this evidence could not be used to prosecute the driver, even though they were likely involved in drug trafficking. While the rule means some guilty parties may avoid conviction, it protects against violation of individuals' constitutional rights against unreasonable search and seizure.

1. Under the Exclusionary Rule, any evidence obtained in violation of the
defendant
Under the Exclusionary Rule, any evidence obtained in violation of the defendant’s 4th
Amendment cannot be used in the criminal trial. For example, if a police officer without a
warrant or probable cause opens the trunk of a car and finds 10 kilograms of cocaine, this
evidence cannot be used to prosecute the driver. The driver is obviously involved in drug
trafficking activities, but it would be difficult to get a guilty verdict without the 10 kilograms
of cocaine.What’s your opinion on the Exclusionary Rule? Is it better to let a guilty person go
free than to convict an innocent person?NO SOURCES NO OUTSIDE SOURCES JUST YOUR
