Definition

  • In ascertaining whether searches are reasonable as required by the Fourth Amendment, U.S. courts often seek to ascertain whether individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Typically, one expects more privacy with respect to closed (especially locked) containers than objects in open view. [Source: Encyclopedia of the Fourth Amendment; Closed Containers]
