Weeks v. US, (1914) was the case that established the "exclusionary rule," preventing evidence gathered through illegal or unreasonable search and seizure of a suspect from being used to prosecute the suspect in court. This Fourth Amendment Search and Seizure protection originally applied only to federal casesbecause the Supreme Court hadn't incorporated much of the Bill of Rights to the States in 1914.

How does the exclusionary rule apply to Leon v US?

In Leon v. United States (1984), the Supreme Court ruled that the exclusionary rule, which typically prevents illegally obtained evidence from being used in court, does not apply when law enforcement officers act in good faith reliance on a search warrant that is later found to be invalid. The Court held that excluding evidence in such cases would not serve the rule's purpose of deterring police misconduct. This decision established the "good faith" exception, allowing evidence obtained from a flawed warrant to be admissible if the officers believed the warrant was valid.
