Summary

Amends the Federal criminal code to prohibit the exclusion of evidence in a proceeding in a U.S. court on the ground that the search and seizure was in violation of the Fourth Amendment if carried out in circumstances justifying an objectively reasonable belief that it was in conformity with such amendment. Specifies that the fact that evidence was obtained pursuant to and within the scope of a warrant constitutes prima facie evidence of the existence of such circumstances. Prohibits the exclusion of evidence in such a proceeding on the ground that it was obtained in violation of a statute, administrative rule or regulation, or rule of procedure unless exclusion is expressly authorized by statute or rule prescribed by the Supreme Court pursuant to statutory authority.
