“This doctrine serves to supplement a previously justified intrusion, such as a search warrant for other property, and permits a warrantless seizure____ The exception, on the other hand, may not be used to expand a justified, but limited, intrusion into a general exploratory search of a person’s belongings until something incriminating at last emerges---- To confine the exception within these boundaries, the Court prohibited the use of any evidence seized outside the warrant unless (1) the police have a prior justification for the intrusion; (2) they find the evidence in plain view; (3) they find it inadvertently; and (4) it is “immediately apparent to the police that they have evidence before them____” (citations omitted)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A person is guilty of a sexual offense in the fourth degree if the person engages ... in a sexual act with another person who is fourteen or fifteen years of age and the person performing the sexual act is four or more years older than the other person____ Any person violating the provisions of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction is subject to imprisonment for a period of not more than one year, or a fine of not more than $1,000, or both fine and imprisonment.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“the additional element required in a fourth degree sexual offense that the victim be “fourteen or fifteen years of age” determined that crime as the “greater offense” even though the penalty for committing the “lesser included” offense was far greater.”
