The following excerpt is from Travis S., In re, 180 Misc.2d 234, 685 N.Y.S.2d 886 (N.Y. Fam. Ct. 1999):

The exclusionary rule created in Weeks v. United States, 232 U.S. 383, 34 S.Ct. 341, 58 L.Ed. 652 (1914) and made applicable to the states in Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643, 81 S.Ct. 1684, 6 L.Ed.2d 1081 (1961) makes inadmissible, evidence obtained as a result of an illegal search or seizure. The exclusionary rule's remedy (suppression of evidence obtained in violation of Fourth Amendment rights) was applied to violations of Fifth Amendment rights in Miranda v. Arizona, supra.
