1. ““In Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 , 88 S.Ct. 507 , 19 L.Ed.2d 576 (1967), the Supreme Court listed the factors necessary to establish a ‘legitimate expectation of privacy.’ Justice Harlan, in a concurring opinion, stated as follows: “ ‘[T]here is a twofold requirement, first that a person have exhibited' an actual (subjective) expectation of privacy and, second, that the expectation be one that society is prepared to recognize as “reasonable.” Thus a man’s home is, for most purposes, a place where he expects privacy, but objects, activities, or statements that he exposes to the “plain view” of outsiders are not “protected” because no intention to keep them to himself has been exhibited.’ “Id., 389 U.S. at 361 , 88 S.Ct. at 516 . More recently, this standard was reiterated in Rakas v. Illinois, 439 U.S. 128 , 99 S.Ct. 421 , 58 L.Ed.2d 387 (1978).””
