You're right, but that doesn't make me wrong. Only that we are saying 2 different things. I didn't mean to imply that you have no expectation of privacy, only that privacy as a whole does not exist. For example, in public, I cannot reasonably suggest that my right to privacy trumps your ability to overhear my conversation.
After all, while you elected to quote one sentence, in context, it's clear that I'm making a distinction between a total right to privacy and limits to intrusions into privacy.
"The right to privacy simply doesn't exist. There is a right against unreasonable search and seizure. But that's hardly a right of total privacy"
So, basically what I'm saying is that their is no simple right to privacy. Actually, the text you quote provides a link that explains it better than I obviously did.
"Although the word "privacy" is actually never used in the text of the United States Constitution,[20] there are Constitutional limits to the government's intrusion into individuals' right to privacy."
These limits protect aspects of privacy, not privacy itself. And that's an important distinction, especially in this context. If you explicitly had a right to privacy, one could argue that search warrants could never be legal, as your rights to privacy were being violated.
I 100% realize how my statements in that manner could be misinterpreted, and I don't fault you for challenging me on that.
> It is unbelievable that someone like you will post a dozen responses to people filled with such unbelievably false statements.
If that's the case, why wouldn't you assume you were misinterpreting what I said?
As for people down voting me, don't be too harsh on them for misunderstanding me on this context. As I said, it's reasonable that they could think that. Luckily, you made it clear you couldn't believe I would post something so obviously false, and looked for clarification rather than just assuming. =)
