Question

Evidence collected in violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), or other aspects of the U.S. Code may not be admissible to a court under the terms of the _______________.

Answer 1

Exclusionary Rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exclusionary rule is a legal rule of the constitution that prevents any illegal search and seizure of 'evidence' that is collected in violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U. S. Constitution. It also prevents the presentation of such 'evidence' in a court of law.

This rule also states that any evidence collected in violation of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) may not be admissible in a court of law as legal evidence as it is 'seized' in violation of the person's constitutional rights. The Fourth Amendment of the U. S. Constitution prevents the government from doing any search or seizure of 'evidence' of a person's home without due reasonable reason. Thus, it prevents a person's from being forcefully searched. So, when such searches are done and evidence produced before the court, they are not admissible under the exclusionary rule.
