I suggest you read the SCOTUS opinions in the cases that generated the exclusionary[1] and other "prophylactic" rules. The judiciary has created several, including this one and the Miranda warnings[2], in order to protect the integrity of the judiciary. The opinions lay out why the court felt it necessary to do so.

- xorcist 12y agoThank you for taking the time to actually answer the question, despite the sea of downvotes. That is quite heaving reading for someone not up to speed with the US justice system. I have to admit I will save it for a rainy day. The Miranda readings does also come off quite strange to an outsider, but the reasons behind it is much more obvious as a matter of educating the public.
