True. The plain view doctrine is an exception to the search warrant requirement. Under this doctrine, law enforcement officers can legally seize evidence that is in plain view during a lawful observation if the officer is legally present at the place where the evidence can be plainly seen, the discovery of the evidence is inadvertent, and it is immediately apparent to the officer that the items are evidence of a crime, contraband, or otherwise subject to seizure. This means that an officer does not need a warrant to seize such evidence.
