Definición

  • The evanescent evidence doctrine grants authority to police who have probable cause but not a search warrant to collect evidence that is otherwise likely to disappear or be destroyed. Cupp v. Murphy (1973) is the U.S. Supreme Court decision that is most closely associated with the doctrine. [Source: Encyclopedia of the Fourth Amendment; Evanescent Evidence Doctrine]
