Peters v. State
Court of Appeals of Georgia
Decided May 19, 1967No. 42627PublishedCited by 11 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
Bell, Presiding Judge.
The appellant contends that his arrest without a warrant was illegal and therefore evidence obtained from his person without a search warrant during the illegal arrest was inadmissible at the trial. “Evidence of guilt which the defendant, either directly or indirectly, is compelled to disclose by an unlawful search and seizure of his person under illegal arrest, is not admissible in a criminal prosecution of the person thus illegally arrested.” Scott v. State, 14 Ga. App. 806 (4) (82 SE 376). See Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U. S. 643 (81 SC 1648, 6 LE2d 1081).
