How later courts describe this case

  • upholding the admission of evidence discovered in “plain view” while officers were legitimately within the curtilage for another purpose
  • distinguishing Manuszak rather than departing from it, as Gates later did
  • explicitly rejecting contention that United States Attorney, who was not prosecuting the case, should not have been allowed to testify because it was prejudicial to the defendants due to the prestige of witness's office
  • sailor claiming against officer for harassment

Citator
