What other Fourth Amendment doctrines may permit the seizure of evidence if the plain view doctrine does not apply?

What will be an ideal response?


The term plain view seems to imply that the plain view doctrine is limited to items that the police can see with their eyes. However, in recent years, the Court has extended the plain view doctrine to incorporate items discovered using additional senses, especially smell (United States v. Place, 462 U.S. 696 [1983]) and feel (Cf., Minnesota v. Dickerson, 508 U.S. 366 [1993]).

It should be noted that the plain view doctrine is often thought of as something of a fallback measure. There are countless situations in which the plain view doctrine would seem to apply but in which the courts have based their decisions on other doctrines.
