The Admissibility of Good Evidence Acquired Illegally by Private Citizens

If a person had good reason to believe that a violent crime was happening at his neighbor’s house then breaking in to the neighbor’s house would be justified. And even though they trespassed their testimony should be admissible in court.

That’s all pretty straight forward and I expect everyone agrees… now what if the person trespassing/breaking and entering is working for the government?

Why Should Good Evidence Collected by Government Agents Illegally be Inadmissible?
