Plain View Doctrine
The
Plain View Doctrine
allows
law enforcement officers
to
seize evidence
without a warrant if it is
clearly visible
while they are
lawfully present
in an area. This doctrine is an exception to the
Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement
, provided the officer has a
legal right
to be in the position to have that view and the
incriminating nature of the evidence
is
immediately apparent
.
