[Misc] The Plain View Doctrine

This past conference at Brasstown Valley Resort I was talking to a couple of people and the subject of the plain view doctrine came up. It was suggested that as Sergeant at Arms I should look this up and make this information available to the general membership. I thought this was a great idea! It has taken me a little longer than I wanted but never the less here it is. This information is available in the ICC Legal Aspects of Code Administration manual on pages 65 – 66. This information is good for everyone to brush up on to be sure you cover yourself while on the job and to ensure you do not get caught in a legal loop-hole in court. I hope that you each benefit from this and please above all else be safe out there every day!!!
