The provision of the doctrine of poisonous tree, prohibits the issue of broad warrants that induce law

enforcement to conduct scavenger hunts. The poisonous tree is the evidence seized in an illegal arrest,
search or interrogation. The fruit of this poisonous tree is evidence discovered because of knowledge
gained from the first illegal search, arrest, or interrogation or violation of a law. The poisonous tree is a
doctrine that extends the exclusionary rule to make evidence inadmissible in court if it was derived from
evidence that was illegally obtained. While the exclusionary rule prevents the government from using
most evidence gathered in violation of the United States Constitution. Evidence obtained by an illegal
search or seizure in violation of the Fourth Amendment is subject to the exclusionary rule. The purpose
of the exclusionary rule is to deter the government from violating a person's constitutional rights. The
exclusionary rule allows the courts to exclude evidence at trial if it was obtained in violation of the
Constitution. It usually involves Fourth and Fifth Amendment violations. The fruit of the poisonous tree
doctrine extends the exclusionary rule by excluding any evidence exposed through other evidence
attained by an illegal search, seizure, or arrest.
