3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Pena v. State · Rivera v. State“"The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution and Art. 1, § 4, Constitution of the State of Wyoming prohibit `unreasonable searches and seizures.' A search, within the meaning of these provisions, occurs when the government intrudes upon a reasonable expectation of privacy. * * * "Where the privacy interest is claimed in a home, courts have universally recognized the existence of a reasonable expectation of privacy. As this court has stated: `A home is entitled to special dignity and sanctity, and the proper way to search a home is to obtain a search warrant.' Jessee v. State, Wyo., 640 P.2d 56, 62 (1982)."
