Mapp v. Ohio applied the "exclusionary rule" prohibiting evidence gathered in violation of the Fourth Amendment's protection against warrantless searches from being used as evidence in a state court prosecution. This standard was already in effect for the Federal government as a result of the Supreme Court's decision in Weeks v. US, (1914).
In other words, today, state authorities cannot enter your home without a warrant and gather any illegal material therein, and then prosecute you based on such material. This represents a protection of privacy that helped establish the foundation for using substantive due process to protect other fundamental rights inferred from the Constitution and its interpretation.

Ohio,(1961), by a vote of 6-3, and her conviction for possession of pornography was vacated, ending the seven-year prison sentence Ohio imposed in 1958.Although Mapp's attorney argued originally argued the Ohio law under which Mapp was convicted was unconstitutional because it was overbroad and infringed on her First Amendment rights, the Supreme Court ultimately decided the case on the basis of a Fourth Amendment search and seizure violation, incorporating that Amendment to the states and extending the federal "exclusionary rule" to prohibit illegally obtained evidence from being used against the defendant in court.Case Citation:Mapp v.
