Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct option is D - plain or public. The plain view doctrine allows law enforcement to seize evidence without a warrant if they are lawfully in a place and see an object in plain view. The object must be in a location where anyone would have a right to see it without intrusion or forced access, and the incriminating nature of the object must be immediately apparent. The other options (A, B, and C) refer to objects that are not in plain view and are unrelated to the plain view doctrine.
