What is the third-party doctrine? Why is it important?
What will be an ideal response?
According to the SCOTUS-created third-party doctrine (based on the assumption of risk theory): whenever people knowingly reveal incriminating secrets, they assume the risk that false friends will use the secrets against them in criminal cases. In other words, if a person tells secrets to someone they trust, and the trusted party turns out to be a government agent, it is the person's own fault. The third-party doctrine is important because it allows law enforcement officers to work undercover.
