Revocation of consent after a plain view of contraband is ineffective to prevent a seizure

By John Wesley Hall, Jr.

Shutting a dresser drawer that had been opened by consent did not work to prevent the officer from seizing contraband that he had already seen. Revocation of consent after a plain view of contraband is ineffective to prevent a seizure. State v. Ford, 2008 Ore. App. LEXIS 725 (May 28, 2008).* State confessed error that the officer held defendant's identification too long and asked for consent. State v. Adams, 2008 Ore. App. LEXIS 738 (May 28, 2008).*
