Description:
Should the exclusionary rule apply to criminal cases where the underlying police encounter is shown to have been motivated by racial discrimination? This question has divided courts in New York and across the country. Traditionally, the exclusionary rule has applied to police encounters that violate the Fourth Amendment's prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures, but in recent years some courts have extended its application to stops, searches or arrests tainted by race discrimination. Panelists with judicial, defense and prosecutorial experience will discuss this development in the law, its practical implications, and whether the exclusionary rule is a necessary or appropriate remedy for racially biased policing.
