For some time, the police have suspected Abbie of selling drugs
out of her apartment, but the police have not been able to gather
any concrete evidence with which to prosecute Abbie. One night,
the police decide to try a knock-and-talk procedure, where the
police just knock on Abbie's door and see if Abbie will allow them
inside. Abbie refuses to give consent for the officers to enter after
they knock, but the police officers push past Abbie anyway. Once
the officers are in the apartment, the officers see drugs in plain
sight, so the police seize the drugs and arrest Abbie for
possession with intent to sell. At Abbie's trial, can the drugs be
entered into evidence?
Yes, the drugs can be admitted into evidence at trial because they
were in plain view.
