The open fields doctrine allows law enforcement to conduct warrantless searches and seizures on open fields or areas outside the curtilage (the area immediately surrounding a home or building) since such areas are not protected by the Fourth Amendment. Open view refers to something that is in plain sight and can be seen from a lawful vantage point. Plain view refers to evidence that is visible during a lawful search or seizure. Non-curtilage is not a recognized legal term.
