Answer:

The exclusionary rule

Step-by-step explanation:

the decision in Mappy v. Ohio declared that evidence that is obtained through an illegal search or seizure can not be used as evidence and must be excluded. This means that if an officer finds evidence of a crime on you but does not announce Miranda rights before searching you, then the evidence found from your crime can not be used against you in a court.
