Defendant's disclaiming interest in the premises was a lack of expectation of privacy

By John Wesley Hall, Jr.

Defendant disclaimed interest in the premises searched, which included its trash, in which he would have no expectation privacy anyway. United States v. Jones, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 66744 (E.D. Mo. May 21, 2008).* Defendant's search incident of his person was valid even though it occurred before formal arrest because of defendant's strange actions and informant's statement that was corroborated by the police. State v. Chapman, 2008 Ida. App. LEXIS 108 (August 27, 2008).*
