According to the Exclusionary Rule, evidence obtained by violating a citizen's Amendment rights is not admissible in a court of law.

Explanation:

The Exclusionary rule is a rule in criminal courts that refuses to accept evidence taken unconstitutionally by police officers. This rule is designed to ensure that the police do not violate constitutional limits in conducting searches, seizures and interrogations.

The Supreme Court first used this rule in the Weeks v. United States. In this case, the police searched Weeks' room and confiscated his paper and belongings to incriminate him in a criminal court. The search was carried out in the absence of a warrant or other legal justification, as a result the search was considered unconstitutional and the Supreme Court ruled that the confiscated evidence could not be accepted in court. This case has established exceptions at the federal level in the United States.
