reasonable expectation of privacy
Definition
- Reasonable expectation of privacy is a core concept in Fourth Amendment law that often determines whether a person has a privacy interest in a certain location, whether there has been a Fourth Amendment violation, or whether there has even been a search in the first place. Justice John Marshall Harlan II coined the phrase in his concurring opinion in the wiretapping case Katz v. United States (1967).
