California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Bounmy v., In re, 14 Cal.App.4th 494, 17 Cal.Rptr.2d 557 (Cal. App. 1993):
The exclusionary rule prohibits the introduction of derivative evidence that is acquired as the direct or indirect result of unlawful conduct up to the point where the connection between the unconstitutional conduct and the evidence seized becomes so attenuated as to dissipate the taint of the illegal police action. (Murray v. United States (1988) 487 U.S. 533, 536-537, 108 S.Ct. 2529, 2533, 101 L.Ed.2d 472.)
