The silver platter doctrine was a legal principle in the United States that allowed evidence obtained by state law enforcement officers, in violation of federal constitutional protections, to be used in federal prosecutions. This doctrine arose from the idea that if state officials gathered evidence without federal involvement, it could be presented to federal courts as if it had been lawfully obtained. However, it was effectively overturned by the Supreme Court's decision in Elkins v. United States (1960), which established that federal courts must adhere to the same constitutional standards of evidence as state courts. Consequently, the doctrine is no longer applicable in contemporary legal proceedings.
