The plain view doctrine was established by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1968 case "Harris v. United States." It allows law enforcement officers to seize evidence of a crime without a warrant if it is clearly visible to them while they are lawfully present in a location. The doctrine has since been reinforced and clarified in subsequent cases, including "Coolidge v. New Hampshire" in 1971.

The plain view doctrine still applies if officers move objects so they can see evidence otherwise hidden from view?

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'.

Which is true of plain view of search and seizure?

The plain view doctrine allows law enforcement officers to seize evidence of a crime without a warrant if they are lawfully present at a location and observe the evidence in plain sight. This means that if an officer is conducting a legal search or is in a public space and sees something illegal, they can confiscate it without further permission. However, the discovery of the evidence must be inadvertent; officers cannot intentionally search for evidence without a warrant. This doctrine is rooted in the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.
