Explain the significance of the exclusionary rule, its three primary purposes, and how does the rule discourage unreasonable search and seizure. In addition, the Court has identified situations in which evidence obtained is admissible in court even though something may have been wrong with either the conduct of the police or the court that issued the warrant. These exceptions to the exclusionary rule fall into four categories: good faith, inevitable discovery, purged taint, and independent source. Discuss the cases that led to these exceptions and the reasoning behind the exceptions.

Some of the cases that can be utilized are as follow:

• Boyd v. United States (1886)

• Weeks v. United States (1914)

• Wolf v. Colorado (1949)

• Rochin v. California (1952)

• Mapp v. Ohio (1961)
