Mapp v. Ohio was a landmark case in which the Supreme Court decided that evidence obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment may not be used as valid evidence in courts. This ruling expended the rights of the accused as it protected them against searches and seizures without a valid warrant. It protected the constitutional due process of the law of the Fourteenth Amendment, which prohibits the states from denying life, liberty or property without due process of the law.  

The accused was granted the right to refuse any search of his property without properly issued search warrant.
