There are three supreme court cases that brought about the plain touch doctrine being added along with plain sight.

Terry v Ohio only allowed officers to frisk for weapons.

Minnesota v. Dickerson is the case in which United States Supreme Court unanimously adopted the plain touch doctrine which allows officers to seize evidence recognized through the sense of touch during a lawful patdown without a warrant.

and finally Coolidge v. New Hampshire which held plain touch seizures constitutional and free from the exclusionary rule when three conditions are met:

1. a lawful patdown has occurred under Terry v. Ohio

2. the character of the item as contraband or evidence of a crime is immediately apparent (plain touch),

3. the officer has a lawful right of access to the item.

Also, I realize Wikipedia isn't the most secure research tool, but come on man put a little effort into it next time.

The plain touch doctrine allows seizure of evidence from a suspect without a warrant but?

The evidence must be lying in the open, the officer must be there legally and as the result of a prior valid intrusion, officer must ACTUALLY observe the item being seized, must have probable cause to believe the item is subjet to seizure, there must not be any unreasonable intrusion on any one's reasonable expectation of privacy, discovery of item need not be inadvertent. ADDED: I have no quibble with the above answer -except- that it describes the plain SIGHT rule. I am not familiar with the "plain TOUCH" doctrine. If the questioner is asking about contraband discovered by a "pat-down" frisk during an 'investigative stop' (when the officer's pat down discloses contraband not initially involved in his reason for the stop) then the answer becomes entirely different. The contraband discovered in this manner CAN be seized and used as a basis for a charge against the defendant. It limits the purpose of the search that discovers evidence to looking for weapons.


Which supreme court case determined that inadvertence is no longer necessary condition to ensure the legitimacy of seizure under the plain-view doctrine?
