The U.S. Supreme Court held that the exclusionary rule applied to the states. The exclusionary rule holds that evidence obtained in violation of defendants' Fourth Amendment rights, such as evidence obtained without a warrant as required by the Fourth Amendment, must be excluded as evidence in the defendant's criminal trial.
