1. “In Tate v. State, 544 P.2d 531 (Okl.Cr.1975), to determine whether a reasonable expectation of privacy existed, we applied a test generally derived from Justice Harlan’s concurring opinion in Katz [v. U.S., 389 U.S. 347 , 88 S.Ct. 507 , 19 L.Ed.2d 576 ], supra; [Tjhere 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. Justice Harlan went on to illustrate his point by stating that “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.””
