Expectation of privacy (United States)

A request that this article title be changed to Reasonable expectation of privacy (United States) is under discussion. Please do not move this article until the discussion is closed.

In United States constitutional law, expectation of privacy is a legal test which is crucial in defining the scope of the applicability of the privacy protections of the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It is related to, but is not the same as, a right to privacy, a much broader concept which is found in many legal systems (see privacy law). Overall, expectations of privacy can be subjective or objective.
