While the Fourth Amendment started simple, in language,there have been "millions of pages of text- inthe forms of case opinions, law review articles, and legal treaties" trying to interpret the words of theFourth Amendment (Worrall, 2012, pg. 73-74).The Fourth Amendment protects persons, houses,papers, and effects and its foundation prohibits unreasonable search and seizures and prevents warrantsfrom being issued without probable cause.As stated by Worrall (2012), the language in the FourthAmendment is constantly evolving which is proven by the number of Supreme Court decisionsthroughout the years (pg.74).The exclusionary rule was not a part of the U.S. Constitution and wascreated by the U.S. Supreme Court. As we learned in Week 2, the exclusionary rule "requires thatevidence obtained in violation of the Constitution cannot be used in a criminal trial to prove guilt"(Worrall, 2012, pg. 42) and as Donald Dripp (2001) notes, there are "few debates in American law are assustained, or as a biter, as the debate over the exclusionary rule" (pg. 1)
