Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "attenuation" refers to the idea that the connection between illegal police actions and the evidence they obtained illegally can weaken or become attenuated over time, meaning that the evidence may still be admissible in court despite its illegal origins. The other options (deterrence, constitutional, ethical) do not specifically relate to this exception in criminal law.
