Under the exclusionary rule, any evidence obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment will be excluded from criminal proceedings.
The Supreme Court held that evidence obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment is inadmissible in state courts. This ruling extended the exclusionary rule, previously applied only to federal courts, to the states. The exclusionary rule prevents courts from considering illegally obtained evidence.
Other well-established exceptions to the warrant requirement include consensual searches, certain brief investigatory stops, searches incident to a valid arrest, and seizures of items in plain view.
At trial, an individual may “invoke the Fifth” by declining to testify in their own defense, and the prosecution may not comment on such a decision.
The four most important remedies are motions to suppress, civil damages actions against individual officers, suits against municipalities, and suits seeking injunctive or declaratory relief.
A person can invoke their 5th amendment right to remain silent by clearly stating that they wish to do so. This can be done verbally or in writing. It is important to note that a person does not have to give a reason for invoking their right to remain silent, and they cannot be penalized for doing so.
Fourth Amendment: protects against unreasonable search and seizure. Fifth Amendment: protects against self-testimony, being tried twice for the same crime, and the seizure of property under eminent domain. Sixth Amendment: the rights to a speedy trial, trial by jury, and to the services of a lawyer.
A witnesses failure to clearly, expressly and unambiguously invoke his right against self incrimination when that person is not in custody and is being questioned prior to arrest permits the State to use that silence as evidence of guilt at trial. You Must CLEARLY Assert Fifth Amendment Privilege.
It's important to understand that invoking the Fifth does not imply guilt. Instead, it's a protective measure to prevent law enforcement from twisting your words or using statements out of context to build a case against you.
