The Exclusionary Rule and Deterrence: An Empirical Study of Chicago Narcotics Officers

I would not do anything to the exclusionary rule. In my personal opinion it is not a detriment to police work. In fact the opposite is true. It makes the police department more professional. It enforces appropriate standards of behavior. Throughout this police department, the majority of cases are not hurt by the exclusionary rule. . . . In this unit, seldom if ever does the law of search and seizure keep us from making the searches we should be able to make.
