Best Answer

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.

What is the significance of US v Calandra 414 US 338?

grand juries are not held to the same standard in regards to the exclusionary rule as police are... the exclusionary rule deters unlawful police conduct allowing the exclusionary rule for grand juries "unduly" interferes with the duties of the grand jury that are in merits supposed to be quick and effective Holding: The Court holds that the exclusionary rule in search and seizure cases does not apply to grand jury proceedings because the principal objective of the rule is "to deter future unlawful police conduct," and "it is unrealistic to assume that application of the rule to grand jury proceedings would significantly further that goal." Dissent: exclusionary rule protects against "all potential victims of unlawful government conduct"
