CA3: Search of somebody else's e-mail conferred no standing

By John Wesley Hall, Jr.

No argument was provided that public entity e-mails addressed to others that were intercepted gave plaintiff any expectation of privacy. Ferrone v. Onorato, 2008 U.S. App. LEXIS 23541 (3d Cir. October 31, 2008).* Defendant arrested for robbery was properly subjected to a search incident. Johnson v. State, 2008 Miss. LEXIS 576 (November 13, 2008).* Staying past the hotel checkout period (but not past the grace period) did not give the defendant any expectation of privacy in the room. United States v. Reid, 2008 U.S. App. LEXIS 23521 (2d Cir. November 12, 2008).* Consent to search the person includes back pants pocket. United States v. Dinwiddie, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 92726 (E.D. Mo. January 29, 2008).*
