"The majority of the states have held that the privilege against
compulsory self-incrimination, which is also guaranteed by state
constitutional provisions is not violated by the use in evidence of
articles obtained by an unconstitutional search and seizure.
(People vs. Defore, 242 N. Y., 13; 150 N. E., 585.)
"But it does not prohibit the Federal Government from taking
advantage of unlawful searches made by a private person or
under authority of state law. (Weeks vs. United States, 232 U. S.,
383; Burdeau vs. McDowell, 256 U. S., 465.)"
