US Court: 'Pocket-Dialed' Calls Are Not Private
itwbennett writes: In a case of a pocket-dialed call, a conscientious secretary, and sensitive personnel issues, a federal appeals court in Ohio has ruled pocket-dialers shouldn't have any expectation of privacy. 'Under the plain-view doctrine, if a homeowner neglects to cover a window with drapes, he would lose his reasonable expectation of privacy with respect to a viewer looking into the window from outside of his property,' the court said. The same applies to pocket-dialed calls, according to the court. If a person doesn't take reasonable steps to keep their call private, their communications are not protected by the Wiretap Act.
How can I not have a reasonable expectation of privacy for something that it literally happening in my pants?
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
Confusing butt-dialed with booty call would be like confusing ladies' man with ladyboy.
Do not look into laser with remaining eye.
ah so a genuine booty call?
