In a significant ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court expanded the powers of law enforcement to seize evidence from homes by overturning the 'mere evidence' rule established in the 1921 case, Gouled v. U.S. This change allows police to collect not only illegal items but also potentially incriminating evidence that may not be directly linked to a crime. Justice Brennan raised concerns about the implications of this decision, warning that it may erode protections against unlawful searches and the right to privacy.
