About the book
This work was written in Turkish. The summary on this page is a translation; the citation gives the original title in parentheses.
In a speech at the National Book Exhibition in London on 2 November 1949, Winston Churchill said: “Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.” While writing this book I lived through exactly what Churchill described more than half a century ago. As I write this preface, which is in fact my last word on the book, I am freeing myself from this pleasant servitude and leaving the book to the attention of its readers. Before doing so, however, I would like to say my last words on the book under the heading “preface” and to thank those whose help, support and understanding I received during this process.
Unlawfully obtained evidence and the derivative effect of unlawfully obtained evidence were subjects that interested me and on which I had been working. The fact that I taught these subjects for many years at the in-service training seminars organised by the Istanbul Bar Association’s Code of Criminal Procedure (CMK) Service played an important part in this. With that as my starting point, I decided to write a work on this subject for my application for an associate professorship. The subject was enjoyable and every bit as complicated. For every academic, every judge, public prosecutor and lawyer, every court and every chamber of the Court of Cassation held a different view on it. Comparative law was no different. Thinking that it might offer a foothold, I placed the Anglo-Saxon legal system, where this doctrine originated, at the centre of my study. I should say at the outset, however, that in that legal climate too the views are many and varied.
