Mapp v. Ohio was a landmark US Supreme Court case that incorporated (applied) the Fourth Amendment to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause. The reasoning in the case was similar to that of its forerunner, Weeks v. US, (1914), which established the "exclusionary rule" that now binds all courts to abide by specific Fourth Amendment protections.

Mapp v. Ohio, 367 US 643 (1961)
