Mapp v. Ohio 1958-1961
Cleveland, Ohio at the home of Dolltree Mapp
Issue: Were the confiscated materials protected from seizure by the Fourth Amendment?
In 1958, this case was argued in Ohio. Dolltree Mapp was found guilty
In 1961, the Supreme Court heard her case. They decided in a 6-3 vote that the police violated her 4th Amendment rights. This decision overturned Wolf v. Colorado and also extended the exclusionary rule to state courts. Justices Harlan wrote a dissent arguing that the majority was "reaching out" to decide the case on Fourth Amendment grounds when they should have limited themselves to the First Amendment issue.

You have the right to remain silent, anything can be used against you...
The Jury finds you guilty on this court date.
I am going to appeal this to the Supreme Court.
