If the Mapp v. Ohio case would have never been heard in 1961, there is a great probability that the African-American society would still be mistreated to this day. Keep in mind that this incident occurred when racial diversity was at it’s worst. Blacks and other racial minorities just simply weren’t treated with equality; I guess you could say they weren’t even treated human. Mapp v. Ohio stands out as the third hallmark case that transformed the constitutional ideal of due process into a living reality. Mapp’s case simply held that the Fourth Amendment right “is enforceable to the states, by the same sanction, as is used against the federal government.” The illegal entry of Mapp’s home was by the police was nothing extraordinary; it was an everyway fact of life for blacks and other racial minorities.
