WHITE, J., Concurring Opinion

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES


466 U.S. 170

Oliver v. United States

CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT


No. 82-15 Argued: November 9, 1983 --- Decided: April 17, 1984 [*]

JUSTICE WHITE, concurring in part and concurring in the judgment.

I concur in the judgment and join Parts I and II of the Court's opinion. These Parts dispose of the issue before us; there is no need to go further and deal with the expectation of privacy matter. However reasonable a landowner's expectations of privacy may be, those expectations cannot convert a field into a "house" or an "effect."
