Explain the Supreme Court's decision in Griffin v. Wisconsin
What will be an ideal response?
A person on probation enjoys a lesser expectation of privacy than the typical citizen. In Griffin v. Wisconsin (483 U.S. 868 [1987]), the Supreme Court held that a state law or agency rule
permitting probation officers to search a probationer's home without a warrant and based on reasonable suspicion was constitutional. The majority (of only five justices) concluded that
probation supervision "is a ‘special need' of the State permitting a degree of impingement upon privacy that would not be constitutional if applied to the public at large"
