The Exclusionary Rule is important to both police and the public because it lays out a clear guideline for action during a police action. Having this rule in place limits the responsibilities that are applied to the officer by stating what they are responsible to gather or not gather during their investigation of a scene. For the public the officer is prevented from illegally conducting search and seizure of a property.

∙ 13y agoExclusionary rule causes disregard to all evidence that was not obtained through legal methods (like a lot of the evidence on TV crime shows). By not allowing illegally obtained evidence, due process (the government's respect for the rights of citizens) is achieved as cops will respect the rights of citizens if they know that, if they do not, they won't be able to put a criminal behind bars.
Basically, it's a legal method that guarantees due process is followed by forcing policemen, etc. to obey the law.
