“even the 'open view' of possible contraband, without more, furnished no basis for its seizure without a warrant. For 'no amount of probable cause can justify a warrantless search or seizure absent exigent circumstances.'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Meyer · State v. Dargis“The open view doctrine is distinguishable from the visually similar, but legally distinct, plain view doctrine. In the plain view situation[,] the view takes place after an intrusion into activities or areas as to which there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. The officer has already intruded, and, if his [or her] intrusion is justified, the objects in plain view, sighted inadvertently, will be admissible. In the open view situation, however, the observation takes place from a non-intra-sive vantage point. The governmental agent is either on the outside looking outside or on the outside looking inside [at] that which is knowingly exposed to the public. The object under observation is not within the scope of the constitution.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Meyer“The car was exposed to public view; there was a foreseeable risk that the evidence it sheltered might be removed before a warrant could be sought some hours later. Moreover, the object in question was a firearm likely to draw the attention of possible intruders in a neighborhood considered a “trouble spot” by the police. ... [T]he threat to public safety engendered by the situation also causes us to consider the officer’s actions reasonable.”
