Fair : an exclusionary rule designed to punish the guilty and not good cops who've acted in good faith . The inevitable discovery exception ensures that the exclusionary rule does not go beyond that limited goal of deterring illegal police conduct by allowing into evidence those items that the police would have discovered legally anyway . But assuming , as the government does not dispute , that some form of a derivative-evidence exclusionary rule would be justified when the police actually overcome the defendant 's will through coercive or abusive tactics and produce a compelled statement , cf. New York v. Quarles , 467 U.S. 649 , 672 ( 1984 ) ( O'Connor , J ., concurring in part and dissenting in part ) , the justifications for such a rule are absent when the record does not establish actual compulsion . The Nix Court viewed the exclusionary rule as a drastic and socially costly remedy because it often results in obviously guilty persons going unpunished for their crimes.26 The Court disapproved of suppressing evidence that inevitably would have been lawfully discovered because that would undermine the adversary system by putting the state in a worse position than it would have occupied if there had been no illegal police conduct.27 The inevitable discovery exception ensures that the remedy of the exclusionary rule is limited to putting the prosecution in the same position that it would have been in if there had been no illegal police conduct . " Even if respondent were correct that Miranda should be viewed as a rule governing the conduct of the police and that the exclusion of unwarned statements taken in custodial interrogation is based on a deterrence rationale , there still would be no justification for extending the Miranda exclusionary rule to derivative physical evidence .
