2. For the new legislation
" . . . Evidence obtained as a result of a
search or seizure that is otherwise
admissible in a Federal criminal
proceeding shall not be excluded in a
proceeding in a court of the United States
on the ground that the search or seizure
was in violation of the fourth amendment
to the Constitution."
In short, the new legislation states that
even if the evidence is obtained illegally,
the evidence against the criminal would
still be permissible to be used in the
court.
3. Reasons for the New
Legislation
The guilty can rightly
get convicted
It looks at the whole
situation
The citizens put
their trust in the
Judicial systems to
make right decisions https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&u

4. The Guilty Can Rightly Get
Convicted
Initially, the real people who
were punished were the people
who did their jobs as law
enforcers and the victims of the
crime
With the new legislation, the
criminals will remain guilty no
matter how the evidence was
obtained.

5. It Looks at the Whole Situation
Why are we keeping a rule that
doesn't encompass the whole
situation?
It focuses on the wrongs of the
law enforcer instead of the
criminal
With the new legislation, it
provides opportunity to see the
whole situation and develop a
new rule that could encompass
everyone’s rights
6. Citizens Trust our Judicial System
Citizens are entitled to know the
full truth when deciding the fate of
suspect, they believe that the
court is and should make just
decisions, if not they would have
even no matter how the evidence
was provided
With the new legislation, the court
room will be able to make a make
a more accurate decision because
all evidence was provided
That is what our justice system is
supposed to be about
7. Conclusion
With the new legislation it makes the judicial system not only
more fair, but also more just. The exclusionary rule does not look
at the bigger picture when protecting the criminal. Evidence is
evidence. If the justice system was living up to its name, we
would have established a law a long time ago that looks at the
whole situation, not just one facet of it. Criminals are criminals
because they committed a crime nothing more and nothing less.
Too many cases are dropped every year because of the
exclusionary rule. It is time to stop putting all of our energy into
how the evidence was provided, but actually the evidence that
the criminal left behind when committing the crime.
