The issue that will be continuously brought up will be the right of privacy. Will the usage of drones violate the Fourth Amendment? It can be a violation if abused. The key word in the definition of drones IS “spy.” Is it spying if you are looking at something in plain view, but the device is out of plain sight? The Fourth Amendment states that every individual has the right to

Based upon the facts, it is evident that the evidence obtained by Manning is admissible evidence due to plain (open) view doctrine. The plain (open) doctrine states that “ if a law officer is where he or she has a right to be and sees evidence or contraband in plain view, then the evidence

The Fourth Amendment does not protect against plain view searches. That is because items in plain view is not a search. It is an object that an officer can see without conducting a search. The three conditions of the plain-view doctrine are applied when, an officer observes an illegal object without conducting a search, within assigned sector and without prior knowledge of the object. The plain view doctrine holds that police officers have the right to seize items that are plainly within their

evidence, to be now allow in a court. These exceptions have been met with controversy or repudiation, but are crucial to the criminal justice system to protect individual’s constitutional rights and prosecute the guilty. These exceptions include the plain view doctrine, independent source doctrine, inevitable discovery doctrine, and the good faith doctrine. Furthermore, two concepts that are exceptions to the constitutional requirements are the dying declaration and exigent circumstance. Finally,

Chapter 10 is titled "The Plain View Doctrine." The plain view doctrine was established in the 1968 case Harris v. United States and was further established in the 1993 case Minnesota v. Dickerson. This doctrine states that law enforcement can observe, search, or seize any evidence that is within "plain view" without needing a warrant or other rationale to do so. Even though it is defined as an exception to the Fourth Amendment requirements for a valid search, it is not technically a search since

argued that the evidence cannot be used since it violates the Fourth Amendment. Did the government go too far? Or were they able to do what they did? This means that the police did not have probable cause to use the thermal imager, it wasn’t in plain sight, and it was not a situation where stopping to get a warrant was too inconvenient. The government definitely went too far because it was an invasion of privacy using technology to

The potential remedy to this 21st century plague hid in plain sight for millennia. The superbug has vexed the medical community for decades. Since MERSA infections can lead to a broad array of aliments ranging from a mild rash to amputation, even death. Strains of the drug resistant pathogen place added stress

The “plain view doctrine” allows law enforcement officers during a lawful observation to seize evidence or contraband items observed without a warrant. (Hall, 2014) However, the probable cause requirement to believe that the items in plain view are contraband while they are lawfully present in an area protected by the Fourth Amendment. (Rutledge, 2006) Once the officer has seen the items, the owner’s privacy interest in that item is lost. The “plain view doctrine” has three elements. First, an officer

range that snuggles against its northern and eastern borders. The heart of this small town is its high school, which resides on the outer edge of the town where the green stops and the dry "dobes" begin. The school is completely surrounded by dry plains that stretch as far as you can see except for a small oasis of green grass. This small oasis of grass is known to many as the practice field. To those who are merely passing by, it looks like a dying piece of land that has been forgotten. What they

the poem “dreamland”. “Through sleep, as through a veil/ She sees the sky look pale” (13-14), the simile is the sleep/ dream, is a veil that covers the eyes but still can see the sky. The metaphor is “She cannot see the grain/ Ripening on hill and plain” (21-22). There’s a repetition in the poem, “Rest, rest, a perfect rest/ Rest, rest, for evermore” (17, 25), and it sounds like the author is trying to persuade the audience/reader that we should “rest” and let the dream take over. The figurative
