Question

Help answer this question below.

Why is valid evidence obtained without a search warrant thrown out in criminal cases? It's still evidence. Why not punish the officer that got the evidence? They're the one who violated the criminal's rights--not the citizens that are now in danger.

    Fact fro fiction, truth from diction. Because if that were allowed you would have no privacy and be at peril. Say someone you kow losely or through another friend was involved in criminal activity but YOU did not know it. Lets say you gave that person a ride in your car. You drop them off and go about your way. The feds etc were tailing them, and because they were in your car, they tailed you. Then when you leave your car they Slim Jim their way in and search it. They find trace of explosives left by the guy you gave a ride or some other evidence linking to criminal activity. Not only do they arrest him but they arrest you as a co-conspirator. Would you believe that was fair?
