In which scenarios can a person assert a reasonable expectation of privacy?

A reasonable expectation of privacy can be asserted in various situations, and all of the listed scenarios appropriately illustrate circumstances under which such an expectation exists.

When an individual owns property that is being searched, the legal precedent recognizes that ownership typically confers a strong expectation of privacy. This includes not just the physical premises but also the belongings within it.

Being an overnight guest in someone else’s home also grants a person a reasonable expectation of privacy. Courts have found that guests who stay overnight in a home have a degree of privacy in the areas of that home where they have been granted access, particularly in their sleeping areas and when using common areas.

Having one’s home searched is one of the clearest examples of a reasonable expectation of privacy. The home is often considered the most protected place under both the Fourth Amendment and various privacy rights, ensuring that homeowners can expect a reasonable degree of privacy from governmental intrusion.

Given that all these scenarios meet the criteria for a reasonable expectation of privacy, it follows that the correct answer encompasses all of the situations presented.
