Law enforcement officers are conducting a legal search for which a valid warrant was obtained. While conducting the search, officers observe an item of evidence for an unrelated crime that was not included in the warrant. The item was clearly visible to the officers and immediately identified as evidence. What is the term used to describe how this evidence is admissible?
A:    Plain view doctrine
B:    Corpus delicti
C:    Locard Exchange Principle
D:    Ex Parte Order
Explanation: Plain view doctrine is a rule of criminal procedure which allows an officer to seize evidence of a crime without a warrant when the evidence is clearly visible. This doctrine acts as an exception to the Fourth Amendment‘s right to be free from searches without a warrant. Corpus delicti is a common law Latin phrase that translates to “body of the crime.” The phrase generally refers to the principle that no one should be convicted of a crime without sufficient evidence that the crime actually occurred Locard‘s Exchange Principle‘ in forensic science holds that the perpetrator of a crime will bring something to the crime scene and will leave with something from it. Locard hypothesized that every time you come into contact with another person, place, or anything else, you exchange bits of evidence as a result. In civil procedure, ex parte is used to refer to motions for orders that can be granted without waiting for a response from the other side. In simple words, the court can take the proceedings in the court without the presence of another party in the case.
