Well, how's that working out for you?

It's a tough call either way, but I think the founding fathers made a good decision on this one. Either way, it's worthwhile understanding what their motivations were.



Very well, I think. Look at data from Amnesty International for example, for more information about the prevalence of torture in the world.

I don't want to name specific countries (I've had enough of the downvotes) but it should be deeply obvious that this poisoned fruit doctrine has no correlation to police misconduct. (As would be expected, the risk of letting a criminal walk free is not much of a personal risk to take.)
