serendipity doctrine

A quick definition of serendipity doctrine:

The serendipity doctrine is a rule in criminal law that says if the police find evidence while they are doing a legal search, they can use that evidence in court. This means that if the police are looking for one thing, but they find something else that is illegal, they can still use it as evidence.

A more thorough explanation:

The Serendipity Doctrine is a principle in criminal procedure that states that any evidence discovered during a lawful search can be admitted into evidence at trial.

For example, if the police are conducting a search of a suspect's home for drugs and they happen to come across evidence of another crime, such as stolen property, that evidence can also be used in court.

This doctrine is based on the idea that if the police are lawfully searching for one thing, they may come across evidence of another crime by chance, or serendipity. As long as the search was conducted legally, any evidence found can be used in court.

I wouldn't say trauma, the trauma would probably come from seeing my friends head get crushed by an LTV and feeling the bag of glass that was his skull in my hands. Or knowing a kid I mentored shot himself with a bullet he used to keep around his neck that I allowed him to have illegally.

Winter is tattoo season because you are less likely to be in the sun exposing the healng tattoos, you dont go swimming or tanning in winter either so you don't miss out on the fun stuff of summer

@snow: healing is super easy it takes like a week to get through the bad part but being in the sun or going in water is a no no so if you get it in the summer that is two weeks at least of no summer fun while winter it doesnt matter
