Question

Which doctrine allows evidence seized without a warrant or probable cause to be used in court?
a. Fundamental breach doctrine
b. Plain view doctrine
c. Attribution doctrine
d. Dangerous proximity doctrine

Answer 1

b. Plain view doctrine.

Explanation: The plain view doctrine allows an officer who is lawfully present to seize evidence without a warrant if the incriminating nature of the item is immediately apparent. (The officer must be lawfully in the location and have probable cause to believe the item is evidence or contraband based on what is plainly observable.)
