Topic: Plain View Doctrine
Describe the Plain View Doctrine. Should the court ever have created the Plain View Doctrine? Is this doctrine difficult for police officers to keep in mind in their daily work?
YOU ARE RESPONDING TO THE FOLLOW REGARDING THE TOPIC OF PLAIN VIEW DOCTRINE:  JS POST
The plain view doctrine gives officers the ability to seize anything that is in plain view of them. That means that they cannot search for it but if it is left out in their immediate view, they can take it for evidence. If an officer is seizing with the plain view doctrine the officer must have a legal right for being there (Schmalleger, 2020). I think the doctrine shouldnt be difficult for the officers to keep in mind when working but I think it would be difficult to not search. Especially if you really think that they are hiding something and wanting to prove it without jumping through all the hoops, which takes forever.
What do you guys think? Would it be hard to keep it in mind when working?
