Who has standing to challenge a Fourth Amendment search of property? How does Minnesota v. Carter (1998) affect this standing?
What will be an ideal response?
Anyone who has sufficient interest or expectation of privacy in the property has standing. This may extend to overnight guests and those who do not live in a house but have belongings there.
Carter specifies that temporary visitors invited into a home to conduct a common task have no expectation of privacy and, therefore, no standing to object to a search.
