Rest in Peace Dollree Mapp

[AdamJoshua]

Mapp's Supreme Court case, Mapp v. Ohio, is a staple of law school textbooks and considered a milestone case on the Fourth Amendment, which requires law enforcement officers to get a warrant before conducting a search. The case curbed the power of police by saying evidence obtained by illegal searches and seizures could not be used in state court.

I remember studying that case in Constitutional law. My professor made us reevaluate and reargue the case.
