Does the state of California believe that people have "a reasonable expectation of privacy" inside their cars while driving on the road?
- jlarocco 8y agoNo idea, I don't live in California.
- jfk13 8y agoIn terms of driving behavior? I should hope not. If I'm driving down the road with a phone held to my ear, a giant soda in the other hand, and steering with my knees, and I happen to pass a police officer, I hope they'd be allowed to stop me. I shouldn't be able to hide behind "I was in my private car, you had no right to look in on me and observe my behavior there."

Also, there might be a different way to think about the entire record of behavior of where one drives. Neither of those would interfere with policing of the behavior you cite.
