Flag question: Question 5
Question 5 5 pts
Officer Ryan was conducting a lawful search (with a warrant) of Timmy’s home. Timmy was suspected of mail theft and credit card fraud. When Officer Ryan went into Timmy’s den he noticed a large gun cabinet with a glass door and several guns inside. Although guns were not specifically listed in the warrant, Officer Ryan thought one of the guns may have been used in a recent burglary down the block from where Timmy lived. So, Officer Ryan removed the gun from the cabinet, turned it over and read the serial number on the butt of the gun, and determined it was, in fact, used in the burglary. Why would the “plain view” exception to the warrant requirement NOT apply?
