Evidence excluded at trial was not a consequence for the police when they unconstitutionally seized evidence. The exclusionary rule bars the government from using the majority of evidence gathered in violation of the United States Constitution.
Weeks is subject to the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures, and the evidence seized as a result must be excluded from his prosecution. The Court ruled unanimously that the seizure of items from Weeks' home directly violated his constitutional rights.
