1. ““[Ujnlike Tyler and Epperson , the emergency which prompted and justified the initial entry had run its course when the evidence was discovered — the premises were clear of persons, victims or killers so that there was no longer danger to the police or threat of loss of evidence. ... unlike Tyler and Epperson , the evidence taken was not found in plain view incident to an emergency investigation, but in hidden places incident to deliberate and systematic search after the excuse of exigency had passed. ... Those items in plain view to the police in the course of their legitimate emergency activity may be taken as evidence. That which is in open view when taken is not the product of a search. And that evidence may be used to convict a person against whom the charge is brought.””
