The Impact Case Law Has Had on Policing
The first case I believe to have had a major impact on the way policing is done today was in Weeks v. United States, 1914. Due to this case, the exclusionary rule had come into effect, and all evidence that was illegally obtained by police without a search warrant would be inadmissible in court.
