Plain View Doctrine

Explanation:

The plain view doctrine is a concept in criminal law of United States that allows a law enforcement officer to search as well as seize the visible objects as evidence without a search warrant.

It is used as evidence of criminal activity in immediate cases when it is apparent that the intention is towards committing a crime with visible evidence against the individual. In that case, U. S. law gives the authority to search and seize any unwanted object.
