Definición

  • In interpreting the idea of “reasonableness” within the Fourth Amendment, courts have determined that the government is not required to secure warrants for searches of open fields. The concept, which resembles the plain view exception to the warrant requirement, is not, however, completely luminous, and is arguably in tension with other Fourth Amendment doctrines.
