I have to give a presentation about the exclusionary rule to a group of patrol officers to help them be more effective out in the streets, what types of things do you think I should mention to them?
Thanks!

The Exclusionary Rule says that a police officer cannot use evidence in a court case that is found on a search that is not warranted.

I am assuming you know that the exclusionary rule is and you simply want to know how to present the information to police officers.
I would simply stress that the courts take it very seriously and screws, whether intentional or accidental can harm cases and let criminals walk.

HAVE YOU HAD ANY TRAINING ON THIS MATTER?
WHO WANTS YOU TO TEACH THE COURSE ANYWAY?
SHOULD BE A LAWYER FROM THE DA OFFICE OR A CITY, COUNTY, STATE PERSON KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE LAW?
IF THEY WANT YOU TO TEACH IT THEN STUDY THE FOLLOWING SUBJECTS TO TALK ABOUT.
HANDOUTS:
1) WOLF V COLORADO; 338 US 25,69 S CT. 1359, 93 LED 1782 (1949)
2) MAPP V OHIO; 367 US 643,81 S CT 1684, 6 LED 2D 1081,(1961)
3) UNITED STATES V LEON; 468 US 897, 104 S CT 3405,82 LED 2D 677 (1984)
HAND OUT ON 4TH AMENDMENT .
4) POINT OUT THAT AMENDMENT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT HOW THIS AMENDMENT IS TO BE ENFORCED?
5) MOST OF THE DEBATE HAS FOCUSED ABOUT THE WISDOM OF AND CONSTITUTIONALITY OF OF THE SO CALLED EXCLUSIONARY RULE?
EVIDENCE OBTAINED LEGALLY OR ILLEGALLY?
RULES OF ARREST, SEARCH AND SEIZURES AS FOUND IN THE RULES OF THE COURTS CRIMINAL PROCEDURES --
IN ALABAMA:
--3.9 --ISSUANCE OF A SEARCH WARRANT
--3.10- CONTENTS OF WARRANT
--3.11- EXECUTION AND RETURN
--3.12- AUTHORITY TO BREAK AND ENTER
--3.13- UNLAWFULLY SEIZED PROPERTY.
THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO TAKE A CLASS 3 WEEKS TO QUICK LEARN.

Your joking right? Your going to give a training class to officers, and you came here for material?
If you don't want to look..shall I say "bad". then don't use this forum as a place to get info for a training class that you are going to give to officers.
I would contact your DA for updates for this topic.
