Answer to Question 1

Civil litigation is sometimes being the only remedy available, civil lawsuits are attractive because money can be awarded. The plaintiff, or the person filing the lawsuit, seeks payment for injuries or perceived injuries suffered, known as damages. In addition to damages, the plaintiff can also seek injunctive relief, which basically means he or she wants the Court to bring the injurious or offensive action to a halt.

Answer to Question 2

The exclusionary rule requires that evidence obtained in violation of the Constitution cannot be used in a criminal trial to prove guilt. This rule is not found anywhere in the wording of the Constitution. As a general rule, evidence obtained in violation of either the Fifth or Sixth Amendment will be excluded at a criminal trial.
