Answer to Question 1

I agree with the decision in the Horton case that inadvertence should not be a
requirement of the plain view doctrine. If the purpose of the exclusionary rule is to
protect individuals from unreasonable searches and searches, isn't it reasonable for
officers to act following what a reasonable person would do under the
circumstances? If the officer has the lawful right to be there, the expectation of
privacy should be less.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
