    whom I know is lying or who is manipulating the situation, I may struggle to find the solution. I have found it hard to reach out to those who do not tell the truth or twist the truth to change the situation. I find it hard to relate to that individual and I fear that when working with this type of student I will become frustrated and judgmental.

    There are many definitions for the exclusionary rule, but to make it simple, I would say this rule was derived from the fourth, fifth, and sixth amendments of the United States. Many cases before this rule did not grant the accused the many perks the exclusionary rule offers the people of the united states now.
