Best Answer

If they move the object for a legitimate reason, or knock it over by accident, this would be considered Plain View.

But, in general, purposefully moving objects in order to find something illegal is considered a "Search", and it would not be considered "Plain View", thus the evidence would be thrown out of court.

The short answer to your question would be 'no'.

What is an exception to the exclusionary rule?

The exclusionary rule applies to the evidence allowable in a criminal case. One exception is the "good faith exception" established by the US Supreme Court case, United States v. Leon. This exception provides that in some cases evidence discovered in an otherwise illegal search may be used at trial rather than excluded, provided the search had been made in good faith. This means that if the police honestly believed that the search was legal (even though on further review of the facts it was not), the evidence obtained will not be excluded. This applies to officers' objective, good-faith reliance on a warrant, later found to be defective, issued by a detached and neutral magistrate. (See below link)
