& Palko v Connecticut

  • Weeks v United States

Rules Applied:

  • Selective incorporation
  • Exclusionary Rule v. 4th Amendment
  • Silver Platter Doctrine

The exclusionary rule is not “an essential ingredient” of the amendment”, as some states do not use it to restrain police misconduct...therefore civil remedies, such as "the internal discipline of the police, under the eyes of an alert public opinion," are suffice.
