“A search is an intrusion into an area in which a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy. Terry v. Ohio, [ 392 U.S. 1 , 88 S.Ct. 1868 , 20 L.Ed.2d 889 (1968) ]. The United States Supreme Court has stated: “What a person knowingly exposes to the public, even in his own home or office, is not a subject of Fourth Amendment protection. (citations omitted) But what he seeks to preserve as private, even in an area accessible to the public, may be constitutionally protected.” Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347, 351 , 88 S.Ct. 507, 511 , 19 L.Ed.2d 576, 582 (1967).”
