To what extent do parolees and prisoners have expectations of privacy protected by the Fourth Amendment?
What will be an ideal response?
The Court said prisoners have no Fourth Amendment rights, as was held in Hudson v. Palmer. In regards to parolees it is also a common practice to include consent to search sections in parole and probation agreements. Persons being placed on parole or probation must sign these agreements to receive such status, which allows probation/parole officers to conduct searches without a warrant during their time under supervision. In United States v. Knight, the Supreme Court held that a person on probation had a "diminished privacy" interest that justified an officer to stop and search that person based only on "reasonable suspicion" that the person was engaged in criminal activity.
