Answer 1

Answer:

d. Plain view

Explanation:

The plain view doctrine states that items are within the sight of an officer who is lawfully in the place from which the view is made may properly be seized without a warrant as long as such items are immediately recognized as being subject to seizure.

The plain view doctrine gives authority to a police officer who is on the scene lawfully or legally to seize and take charge of evidence(s) that lies within his purview even though he does not a warrant issued. This law only applies when the officer is on scene lawfully and the evidence lies in plain view.

The plain view doctrine of the Fourth Amendment allows a law enforcement officer to seize evidence of a crime (otherwise known as 'contraband') without a warrant, if the officer observes the contraband in plain view.

It gives police officers the right to seize needles and bags of heroin that someone may have lying right out on the passenger seat during a routine traffic stop. The plain view doctrine also permits certain seizures to be conducted without a warrant
