The Miranda example in the previous version isn't correct. US v. Pantane, 124 S.Ct. 2620 (2004), allows the admission of tangible evidence found as a result of an un-Mirandized confession. --Thunk 20:54, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This should not be merged with exclusionary rule, or at very least, it should be cut out as its own section in there. This is distinct legal term. NRK (talk) 18:27, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative usage

Factually unsound and uncited information in alternate usage tagged as requiring cite. I believe that the information should be removed if not promptly cited. -*- u:Chazz/contact/t: 23:41, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Globalize

I put on a globalize tag. I assume other country's legal systems have similar rules. If I'm wrong, delete the tag. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 01:41, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

more general rule than evidence allowability

Until recently it was my understanding that "fruit of the poisonous tree" was a more general doctrine about disputes arising from criminal activity, for instance if the other members of your band of thieves don't give you your proper share you can't sue them for it. It is a short leap to thinking that the first judge who rejected stalker-style wiretap evidence as FOTPT was being really dismissive and pointing out that the spying was criminal, but this implication has been lost as the evidence-rules meaning has eclipsed the more general usage. I don't have a reference; just a vague memory of a conversation some years ago with someone who knew; if the right name for the doctrine that prevents the shortshared criminal from suing the other thieves could be mentioned in a response to this discussion item that would be awesome. 65.46.169.246 (talk) 20:41, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
