"[T]he Fourth Amendment protects people, not places. What a person knowingly exposes to the public, even in his own home or office, is not a subject of Fourth Amendment protection.

United States, 389 U.S. 347, 351 (1967) (internal citations omitted) available at https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/389/347 https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/389/347.
