Answer:

The attenuation exception

Step-by-step explanation:

The attenuation exception tends to decrease the fundamental right of defendant. As the evidence obtained under such exception is not legally obtained.

It is obtained through an illegal unconstitutional manner, but the relation between the misconduct, that is the illegal act and the discovery of evidence stands very poor.

It basically is valid only when the relation or connection is poor between the above, and with that the defendant looses some of his fundamental right, right to win the case with all legal evidences.
