Introduction
- See also: Reasonable Expectation of Privacy
Courts have set out specific rules and principles when dealing with certain situations where privacy interests have been found. Those circumstances include searches of persons, residences, vehicles, storage, and more recently electronic devices.
A person can have a reasonable expectation of privacy "related to contraband."[1]
