Practice question
Investigators already know of alleged card fraud but obtain only a drug warrant. They open a nontransparent bag, extract cards and investigate their names and accounts to discover a counterfeit connection. They invoke plain view solely because the cards became visible after opening. Which is best?
- The label does not establish inadvertent discovery and immediately apparent incriminating character
- Opening the bag automatically creates plain view for everything
- A drug warrant conclusively covers every suspected cybercrime
- Prior information is irrelevant to inadvertence
- The officer’s badge alone cures every deficiency
