The open fields doctrine states that items in open fields are not protected by the
Fourth Amendment's guarantee against unreasonable searches and seizures, so they
can properly be taken by an officer with a warrant or probable cause. Open fields
are not covered by the Fourth Amendment because they do not come under houses,
papers, and effects, which are protected from unreasonable searches and seizures
under that Amendment.
