The guide then progresses to a discussion of constitutional protections, enabling researchers to evaluate whether any violations might warrant suppression of evidence. Finally, this guide explores state-specific protections in Georgia that extend beyond federal constitutional guarantees. If these are found to be violated, such infringements may also warrant the suppression of evidence.
