Illinois Supreme Court considers expectation of privacy in hospitals – Capitol News IL

While Cortez Turner was in a hospital room being treated for a gunshot wound to his leg in 2016, police took his clothes. Now, the Illinois Supreme Court is weighing whether that action violated Turner’s expectation of privacy under the Fourth Amendment.

Privscy in a hospital room? My fitst question is who paid for the room and sevices. My guess is Turner had no insurance and did not lay out a penny of his own money, so the room and its privacy belong to the taxpayer. I bet Turner hasn’t paid raxes in awhile either.

So people that live in section 8 housing no longer have a right or expectation of privacy in their government paid for home? That’s not how the law works.

The Supreme Court may very well allow this type of evidence but it won’t be because of government paid health care.

Sorry for having knowledge and understanding that just because taxpayers pay for items such as housing or a hospital stay, doesn’t necessarily erode someone’s constitutional rights. Some of you are really proud to be ignorant.
