Mapp v. Ohio is important because it applied the protections of the Fourth Amendment against unreasonable searches and seizures, or illegal warrantless searches, that applied to the federal criminal justice system to every state in the United States. After Mapp v. Ohio, states had to conform to the Constitution.
Supreme Court of the United States Mapp v. Ohio / Ruling court
On March 23, 1960, the Supreme Court issued its decision. Although a simple majority, four of the seven Justices, voted to reverse the Court of Appeals decision, Mapp lost her appeal because of a technicality under Ohio law: a super-majority was required to rule any law unconstitutional.
MAPP V. OHIO, decided on 20 June 1961, was a landmark court case originating in Cleveland, in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that under the 4th and 14th Constitutional amendments, illegally seized evidence could not be used in a state criminal trial.
The officers proceeded to search Mapps entire residence for the suspect. Their search resulted in the discovery of risqu books, sketches of nude figures, and lewd and lascivious photographs.

Decision: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 5-3 vote in favor of Mapp. The high court said evidence seized unlawfully, without a search warrant, could not be used in criminal prosecutions in state courts.
