The exclusionary rule is a legal principle in the United States, under constitutional law, which holds that evidence collected or analyzed in violation of the defendant's constitutional rights is sometimes inadmissible for a criminal prosecution in a court of law.
Justifications for the exclusionary rule in regard to the rationale and purpose of maintaining this rule are that it protects the integrity of the judicial system from evidence obtained illegally or dirty evidence, and it deters future illegal searches by police.
