  • Mapp vs. Ohio
  • Background Information
  • Argument
  • Warrant
  • June 19, 1961
  • Supreme Court Ruling
  • The case originally took place in Cleveland, Ohio. Police officers forced their way into Dollree Mapp's house without a proper search warrant. The Police searched the house because they believed that Mapp was hiding a suspected bomber. The Police did not find the suspect but found pornographic photos in her basement, so they arrested her.
  • Connected Amendment
  • United States Constitution
  • Mapp was a woman without any record from the criminal point of view. The Police officers claimed that there was something suspicious going on in the house. They had a warrant, but Mapp never got to read it and see if it was a proper warrant. The warrant was not proper. This went against the fourth amendment protection of unlawful searches and seizures.
  • Impact
  • The United States Supreme Court ruled in a 5-3 vote in favor of Mapp. They said evidence was seized unlawfully, without a search warrant. Mapp was found guilty for lewd books, pictures, and photographs. This is in violation of 2905.34 of Ohio's Revised Code. She was sentenced to seven years in prison. 
  • This case is connected to the Fourth Amendment. The Fourth Amendment is the protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.
  • The impact of this case was it strengthened the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, making it illegal for evidence obtained without a warrant to be used in a criminal trial in state court. It also was a landmark decision because the Supreme Court decided that the exclusionary rule not only applied to the United States Federal Government, but also to the United States.
