Officer saw a vehicle pull off a well-traveled road, stop, and the driver opened the hood.

People v. Mains, 2012 Ill. App. LEXIS 368, 2012 IL App (2d) 110262 (May 11, 2012).

A cell phone rang in the back of the house, and the police went to look finding defendant going out the window. In plain view were drugs and a handgun. The entry into the apartment was valid as was looking for defendant because he was expected to be armed. State v. Craft, 2012 N.J. Super. LEXIS 73 (May 14, 2012).*
