What is the main purpose of the exclusionary rule?
The Exclusionary Rule's purpose is to keep certain evidence from being used against you in a criminal trial. Police procedure in gathering evidence against you is heavily dictated by cases interpreting the Fourth Amendment. Evidence gathered in violation of your Constitutional rights is subject to the Exclusionary Rule.
How does exclusionary rule prevents officers from performing unlawful searches and seizures?
If an officer were to obtain evidence illegally, such as searching you without probable cause, the evidence they acquired would not be admissible in court. That's not to say the entire case would be thrown out, but that single piece of evidence would not be allowed in court. The exclusionary rule doesn't prevent unlawful searches and seizures, but it disincentivizes them by making evidence seized unlawfully inadmissible at trial. There's no reason to illegally obtain evidence if it can't be used to convict a defendant.

What famous case was about illegally obtained evidence being inadmissible in court?
There were two famous US Supreme Court cases on this topic, although most people only remember the more recent one, Mapp v. Ohio, (1961). In Mapp, the Warren Court applied the Fourth Amendment Exclusionary Rule developed in Weeks v. US, (1914), to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause. The Exclusionary Rule prevents illegally obtained evidence from being used to convict a defendant.Weeks v. US, 232 US 383 (1914) was the case that established the "exclusionary rule," preventing evidence gathered through illegal or unreasonable search and seizure of a suspect from being used to prosecute the suspect in court. This Fourth Amendment Search and Seizure protection originally applied only to federal cases because the Supreme Court hadn't incorporated much of the Bill of Rights to the States in 1914.In Wolf v. Colorado, 338 US 25 (1949), the Supreme Court decided the exclusionary rule didn't apply to the states, but the Warren Court reversed this stance in Mapp v. Ohio,367 US 643 (1961), holding "All evidence obtained by searches and seizures in violation of the Federal Constitution is inadmissible in a criminal trial in a state court."For more information, see Related Questions, below.

Who is at fault in an auto accident on private property when the party with the damages is illegally parked?
A parked car almost never crashes into others or does anything else that prevents other drivers on private property from stopping in time to avoid hitting it. Therefore, the fact that it may be "illegally parked" usually has nothing to do with why someone negligently crashed into it.
