Mapp v. Ohio (1961)
The Fourth Amendment states "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause . . . and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Mapp was suspected of committing a high class crime. Police came into home without search warrant and found evidence obtained illegally for a exposure materials charge that carried a sentence of 1 to 7 years.
