15. If I Answer Police Questions Even After I'm Given the Miranda Warning, Is It Ever Possible to Exclude What I Say?

  Under some circumstances, yes. If the police induce a suspect to speak because of illegal behavior engaged in by the police, the suspect's statements may be excluded under the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine1. For instance, assume that the police induce a suspect to confess by confronting the suspect with objects the police seized during an illegal search. (For more on search and seizure2, see Chapter 2.) If seeing the illegally seized objects induced the suspect to confess, a judge may throw out the confession3 as the fruit of the poisonous tree (the illegal search), even if the police first gave the Miranda warning.

  More About Poisonous Fruit

  The "fruit of the poisonous tree" rule prevents police officers and prosecutors5 from indirectly6 benefiting from improper7 searches and interrogations. The rule provides that if police find out about evidence as the result of an illegal search or interrogation, a judge can bar a prosecutor4 from using the evidence at trial. (Wong Sun v. United States, U.S. Sup. Ct. 1963.) The fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine removes what would otherwise be a big incentive8 for police officers to conduct illegal searches and interrogations.

  本节的问题翻译下列句子:
  The fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine removes what would otherwise be a big incentive for police officers to conduct illegal searches and interrogations.

  毒树之果理论排除了非法搜查和审讯获得的证据,否则会大大激励警官们这么做
