After three police officers burst into the home of Dolly Mapp, Mapp asked to see a search warrant, and was shown a piece of paper, but was given no details about the investigation. Mapp's case would affect every police search and seizure in the United States for years to come as it strengthened the rights of citizens against illegal and arbitrary searches.
A concise and compelling account of the closely-decided Supreme Court ruling that balanced the duties of state and local crime fighters against the rights of individuals from being tried with illegally seized evidence.
