What was the Supreme Court's ruling in the Elkins case regarding the silver platter doctrine?

The ruling in the Elkins case addressed the silver platter doctrine, which allowed federal law enforcement to use evidence obtained by state officials without adhering to the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirements. The Supreme Court determined that this practice violated the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. By ruling against the silver platter doctrine, the Court emphasized that evidence obtained through illegal searches conducted by state officers cannot be used in federal prosecutions. This decision reinforced the importance of upholding constitutional protections, ensuring that the rights guaranteed under the Fourth Amendment apply uniformly, regardless of the level of government conducting the search.
