Mapp v. Ohio

Mapp v. Ohio (1961) established that evidence obtained through illegal searches and seizures in violation of the Fourth Amendment cannot be used in state courts. This decision extended the exclusionary rule to state court proceedings, reinforcing the need for proper warrants and lawful procedures.

For law enforcement, it underscored the importance of adhering to constitutional search and seizure standards to ensure evidence is admissible in court.
