Which of the following areas you think should be considered "private" and therefore require a warrant?

Question

A. Your bedroom in your parents home

B. Your garage

C. Your office at work

D. Your school locker

E. Your garbage that you have placed at your roadside curb

* Also explain why the others that u didnt choose dont need a warrant to be searched

Answer 1

Assuming the police of the permission of your parents/employer/school, only B.

Answer 2

A. Your parents may require a warrant. If they give permission, you're screwed.
B. Your garage is private space, but peeking through an open door or a garage-door window is not exactly the same as breaking down the door of your house, is it?
C. Your office at work is protected, to your employer, not you. See the answer to A.
D. Your school locker belongs to the school. Same principle.
E. Your garbage placed at the roadside is freely thrown away. There's a mild expectation of privacy still, and a random litter-search would probably be thrown out by the court, but probable cause of the level that would likely be adequate for a warrant would likely be upheld even in the absence of the warrant.

Answer 3

All below IMHO

The bedroom is owned by your parents, assuming you are not paying any rent the warrant would be served on your parents. Parents do not need warrant if you are not renting,they are owners, if you are renting from parents other things come into play.

Garage same as above.

Locker is owned by school, not you, you also probably do not realize it but by attending the school you agree to abide by rules one of which allows warrantless searches.

I believe probable cause may negate the need for a warrant in any of the above scenarios.

Garbage is in public domain so as to speak once placed at curb. I believe there have been rulings to this point.

Answer 4

Only garbage, out in a "public area, a sidewalk or street", requires no warrant.
If it is on your property/driveway, I believe it would require a warrant.
Private property includes not only a home, but the entire premises within the property lines.
One foot on private property can be construed as trespassing.
Bear in mind that a judge must be persuaded that a warrant is justified. They are not issued for a fishing expedition.

Answer 5

Your bedroom belongs to your parents so if you don't want something found, don't leave it there.

The gargage would be the one for a warrant with the police

Your office at work belongs to your employer, so no privacy.

Your school locker belongs to the school, and they have the right to open it.

Your barbage at the curb is no longer your property and people can pick thru it at will. Remember identify theft.

Answer 6

A,B,C, and D are private and would require a warrant for a search. Trash is disgarded and by default not private. If you throw it out then you no longer value it, no longer private.

Answer 7

all of the above.
