27. If My Employer Consents to a Police Search of My Workspace, Are the Results of the Search Admissible in Evidence?

　　Probably. An employer can validly2 consent to a search of company premises3. An employer's consent extends to employees' work areas, such as desks and machinery4. However, police officers might need a warrant to search a clearly private area, such as an employee's clothes locker5.

　　28. Can My Child Let the Police Search Our Home While I Am at Work?

　　This would primarily depend on the child's age. The younger the child, the less authority he or she would have to consent to a search. The California courts, for example, require a child to be at least 12 to consent, and even then the child must appear to be ''in charge" of the house at that time.

　　Section IV: Warrantless Searches and the Plain View Doctrine6

　　This section is about warrantless searches and seizures8 that are considered valid1 because the police officer initially9 spotted10 contraband11 or evidence that was in the officer's plain view.

　　29. I Agreed to Talk to a Police Officer in My House. The Officer Saw Some Drugs on a Kitchen Counter, Seized Them and Arrested Me. Is This Legal?

　　Yes. Police officers do not need a warrant to seize contraband or evidence that is "in plain view" if the officer is where he or she has a right to be. An officer's seizing of an object in plain view does not violate the Fourth Amendment12 because the officer technically13 （and legally） has not conducted a search.

　　Case Example 1: During daylight hours, Officer Mendoza stops a car for having an expired license14 plate. When Officer Mendoza approaches the driver, the officer sees a packet of what appears to be illegal drugs on the front seat of the car. The officer seizes the packet and arrests the driver.

　　Question: Was the seizure7 of the drugs legal?

　　Answer: Yes. The drugs were in plain view. Though the officer had no probable cause to search the car at the moment the officer pulled the car over, seeing the illegal drugs on the front seat gave the officer a valid basis for seizing them.

　　翻译句子：
