Exclusionary Rule Use

Summary

Exclusionary Rule Use explores the complex world of the exclusionary rule, a critical aspect of the criminal justice system. This rule dictates when evidence obtained unlawfully can be suppressed in court. The book delves into how the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments intersect with search and seizure, interrogation tactics, and identification procedures. The text reveals how illegally seized evidence or confessions obtained without Miranda warnings can undermine a prosecutor's case.  
The book traces the rule's origins from common law to landmark Supreme Court cases like Weeks v. United States and Mapp v. Ohio, illustrating how judicial attitudes have evolved regarding individual rights versus law enforcement needs. It argues that the exclusionary rule, while intended to protect individual liberties and deter police misconduct, creates a balancing act within the legal system.  
The book systematically examines the rule's definition, its application across various legal contexts, exceptions like "inevitable discovery" and "good faith," and its impact on case outcomes, offering a balanced analysis of its strengths and weaknesses. This approach allows readers to develop informed opinions about this controversial yet vital component of constitutional law.

Black Evidence - A History and a...

Candis Watts Smith

A fierce exposé of American resistance to believing Black people and its devastating effects throughout history. 
 
From Reconstruction to redemption, civil rights to the Southern strategy, the multiracial protests of 2020 for social justice to the swift elimination of policies etching out a more inclusive, equitable society, Americans regularly experience periods of racial reckoning followed by walloping retrenchment. This pattern is a result of an American pastime: creating and implementing tactics to deny Black truth. Candis Watts Smith explores how Black voices have been prevented from contributing ideas to break these cycles. Distilling four centuries of critical moments in US history, this careful curation of vignettes provides a warning of what happens when Black testimony is subject to exclusion, when Black communities are terrorized, when Black children are transformed into adults, and when Black resistance is pathologized. Black Evidence shows how the ugly legacy of the past continues into our present and prescribes a cure—listen to the veracity of Black voices and amplify it.

What you are about to hear is life changing. It will shock you and cause fear. The way you look at life will change. You may think some of it is from the realm of science fiction. You may not. The fact is this, what you are about to hear is the truth. 
 
It is time to forget about the illuminati or the Freemasons. Time to drop the ideas of a global and all powerful secret society. Your political leaders are not those in control. The world's most powerful religions, businesses and military all fade into insignificance when compared to the real truth about the manipulation of mankind on planet earth. 
 
We have in fact created our own ultimate nightmare and things are about to get a lot worse. We will all have one decision to make. We either do as we are told, or we will perish. This is your future. It is a future so far removed from the lives of our ancestors that it can only be called unnatural. 
 
In all of our attempts to free ourselves from the constraints of a chaotic mind, we have in fact created a multi-headed monster that is about to bite off our heads and replace them with heads of its own. You will no longer be human. No longer free. You will be controlled by the most powerful, complex and terrifying system man could ever imagine into existence.
