The 1961 U.S. Supreme Court case that made the exclusionary rule applicable to state criminal prosecutions is Mapp v. Ohio. In this landmark decision, the Court held that evidence obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, cannot be used in state courts. This ruling extended the exclusionary rule, previously applicable only to federal cases, to the states, reinforcing the protection of individual rights against unlawful government actions.
Mapp v. Ohio (1961) significantly impacted searches related to the Fourth Amendment, particularly concerning the exclusionary rule. The Supreme Court ruled that evidence obtained through illegal searches and seizures cannot be used in state courts, thereby extending protections against unlawful searches to state-level prosecutions. This decision reinforced the need for law enforcement to adhere to constitutional standards when conducting searches, influencing how police obtain evidence nationwide.
