United States v. Salvucci

In United States v. Salvucci, 448 U.S. 83 (1980), the United States Supreme Court overruled Jones v. United States, 362 U.S. 257 (1960), eliminating the rule that a criminal defendant automatically has standing under the fourth amendment to challenge the legality of a search that yielded evidence that incriminated him. Salvucci held that a defendant must first establish a reasonable expectation of privacy in the premises before he may assert that his fourth amendment rights have been violated by improper intrusion into those premises.
