That's not technically true.
Evidence gathered in violation of a constitutional law is often inadmissible.
But if you look at situations in which police gathered evidence in violation of a statute (e.g. committed a felony that wasn't additionally a constitutional violation), then I could count on one hand the number of times evidence has been excluded in courts across the USA in the last 100 years.
