Mapp violated the Fourth Amendment Search and Seizure Clause, which the Supreme Court had decided not to incorporate to the States in an earlier case, Wolf v. Colorado, 338 US 25 (1949).
The decision in Mapp allowed the Court to apply the federal Exclusionary Rule to "evidence obtained by searches and seizures in violation of the Federal Constitution is inadmissible in a criminal trial in a state court."
Interestingly, the case was originally presented to the Court as a First Amendment question because Mapp had been tried and convicted on obscenity charges, but the justices determined the real issue was the method police used to obtain the evidence used to convict Mapp at trial.
