What about the whole "plain sight" rule? I thought if a LEO comes into your house for unrelated reasons (looking for statements re: neighborhood crime or whatever) and you "voluntarily" consented to letting the LEO in the house, and he saw evidence of a crime (usually drugs or guns is the example used), that it was admissible.
