Question

What were the constitutional issues in Mapp v Ohio

Answer 1

The main constitutional issue in Mapp v. Ohio was whether evidence obtained through a search in violation of the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures could be used in a state criminal trial. The case centered around whether the exclusionary rule, which prohibits the use of unlawfully obtained evidence in court, should be applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause.
