the police have the right to testify about what they can see from thier vantage point in the house. the police can argue that they had to be in the bathroom or the kitchen for 'x' reason and while there they saw 'y'. the case is 'fact sensitive'. did they have a good reason to be a certain room ? ed dimon, esq.
