Donald Dripps Model On The Contingent Suppression Order

Donald Dripps model on The Contingent Suppression Order creating a “hybrid model” which combined the exclusionary rule and damages would only work in the real world if there was an accurate compensatory model that would be appropriate to each charge. According to Dripps model, “The judge is offering to rescind one, purely deterrent, remedy if and only if the government submits to another remedy that deters equally and compensates better. I can see absolutely no plausible argument that such a contingent suppression order exceeds the judge’s authority relative to the government.” (Dripp, 2001, pg. 23) Dripps supports his model by pointing out the areas in which a judge could vindicate the constitution without freeing the guilty. Therefore, Dripp proposal makes it clear that the

A way to test this theory would be to establish the Contingent Suppression Order in small claims courts within different district regions. If the order proved to be successful, then policy makers could implement the same policies in higher levels such as state and federal courts.
