U.S. Const., Amend. IV:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

This is effectuated in criminal law and procedure through the Exclusionary Rule.

Black's Law Dictionary, 9th Ed., defines the exclusionary rule:

"2. Criminal procedure. A rule that excludes or suppresses evidence obtained in violation of an accused person's constitutional rights...."

Also, read Wayne R. LaFave and Jerold H. Israel, Criminal Procedure (2d ed. 1992).

Also, read Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643 (1961).
