Ep. #281: Does plain view give you the authority to search the entire room without a warrant?

📌 Plain View Seizure
Under the Plain View Doctrine, you may seize any item, that is immediately apparent as contraband or evidence, where you have lawful access. Horton v. California, 496 U.S. 128 (1990).

📌 Search Incident to Arrest
You have automatic authority to conduct full searches (except strip or cavity searches) once a person has been lawfully arrested. Chimel v. Cal., 395 U.S. 752 (1969). You may also search any items the person is going to bring with them to jail under a booking search exception or inventory policy.
