| Court: | US Supreme Court |
| Facts: | Police officer has probable cause to search Horton's home for proceeds of an armed robbery, and the weapons used. The warrant names only the proceeds, not the weapons, but he finds the weapons while looking for the proceeds. |
| Posture: | Dunno. Edited out. |
| Issue: | Does the fact that the discovery was not inadvertent make the seizure illegal under the Fourth Amendment? |
| Holding: | No. |
| Rule: | If all the other elements of plain view are satisfied, the inadvertent descovery element is also. |
| Reasoning: | The officer was lawfully in the place of the search, it was immediately apparent that these weapons were connected with the crime, and the officer's search gave him lawful access to the weapons (i.e., there was no additional search). |
