The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Schmidt, 573 F.2d 1057 (9th Cir. 1978):
5 Stonehill v. United States, supra, 405 F.2d 738, 9 Cir., upon which the district court relied, did not involve due process violations or the violation of the defendant's privilege against self-incrimination. The decision revived the silver platter doctrine only in connection with searches and seizures by foreign governments, which, if conducted in the United States, would have been a violation of the Fourth Amendment.
