Supreme Court bars illegally seized evidence in civil forfeiture cases
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that illegally seized evidence cannot be used in state civil forfeiture or personal property cases. The decision, read by Justice Arthur J. Goldberg, follows a Pennsylvania seizure of 375 liquor bottles without warrants from a car crossing the Ben Franklin Bridge. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court had upheld the case, saying the exclusion rule did not apply to civil forfeiture, leaving lower courts to assess the legality of the arrest and search.
