it's less that people shouldn't expect privacy behind a fence... LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 25/08/2010 04:35:28 PM
and more that people should expect privacy despite the lack of fence. If you make the distinction that someone with a fence can't have their home invaded by the police, but if they magically didn't have a fence it would be okay, how is that right? A driveway is RIGHT BY a person's home and sleeping quarters. Would the courts also rule against someone who thought someone was trying to rob the and assaulted the individual...only to find out it was an officer?

A driveway is private or it is not. Even if you have to cross a fence to get TO the driveway, there is not typically a fence between the house and the drive. Once you're to the drive, the "privacy" is typically the same.

true. but what if they only think you're breaking the law? LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 05:19:52 PM 1013 Views
Well they would easily find out you weren't a drug dealer Dark Knight - 25/08/2010 05:25:40 PM 1128 Views

most of them are resiting they resisting random thoughts - 25/08/2010 09:13:29 PM 1095 Views

yes nothing says "better than arguing" than ELECTROCUTING SOMEONE LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:14:55 PM 1148 Views
any physical altercation is dangerous for a police officer random thoughts - 25/08/2010 11:30:07 PM 1001 Views
you see plenty of videos where the person wasn't being aggressive, though. LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:46:43 PM 1155 Views
Sorry but he needed to be tasered random thoughts - 26/08/2010 02:57:19 AM 1128 Views

And when someone dies because they get electrocuted? Ryan - 26/08/2010 06:52:13 AM 1368 Views
all the more reason to listen to a police officer if they point a taser at you *NM* random thoughts - 26/08/2010 02:43:46 PM 508 Views
I believe Jefferson had a certain famous quote about that... *NM* Floffe - 25/08/2010 07:50:48 PM 566 Views

even if they are not restricted, driveways are private property LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 05:34:00 PM 1143 Views
I don't think that's true. Sareitha Sedai - 25/08/2010 05:55:26 PM 1067 Views
you don't need permission to walk up someone's driveway until they have posted a no trespassing sign random thoughts - 25/08/2010 06:00:02 PM 1154 Views
yes, and that's a relatively expected activity LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 07:24:54 PM 1198 Views
Should a person without a garage be penalized Ryan - 25/08/2010 05:36:37 PM 1269 Views
They're not being penalized; it works in the other direction. Sareitha Sedai - 25/08/2010 05:59:59 PM 1251 Views
I think... Hezzah - 25/08/2010 09:47:51 PM 1115 Views
Or you could go the other way, and say it's legal for them to put a GPS tracker on your house. Gher - 25/08/2010 10:30:32 PM 986 Views
I wouldn't mind a GPS tracker on my house LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:16:10 PM 1050 Views
