Search-and-Seizure Sentence of the Day:
From Judge Gregory of the Fourth Circuit, after rejecting a defendant's claim that he had proved a reasonable expectation of privacy in an open field at least in part by being comfortable enough to urinate there:
[I]f Fourth Amendment protection were to be predicated upon where one felt comfortable enough to eliminate, our search and seizure jurisprudence would be turned on its head.United States v. Vankesteren, n.1.
