Re: Privacy Rights to abandoned evidence left by the offender
The answer to your question depends on the individual's connection to the location and the item(s) at the scene. There are volumes of caselaw dedicated to our right to privacy and our right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. The court's inquiry is always driven by the particular facts of each case.
