plain view doctrine  

Définition(s)

  • The plain view doctrine states that a police officer who is legally in a position to see an item may seize it without a search warrant, so long as the item is immediately recognizable as contraband or evidence subject to seizure. Plain view is a recognized exception to the warrant requirement of the Fourth Amendment, as there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in items left out in the open. [Source: Encyclopedia of the Fourth Amendment; Plain View Doctrine]
