How many places can you name where a defendant has no expectation of privacy, such that police may secretly intercept oral communications?

Good one, Judge Gist. I imagine some of the best admissions you have heard from a defendant came during his testimony in the courtroom.

Is the thread now expanded to all situations where a defendant lacks a reasonable expectation of privacy, or just situations involving taping?

On August 9, 2002, in United States v. Kelly, No. 01-40467 (5th Circuit 2002), the Court of Appeals held that a defendant had no expectation of privacy in his groin at the border. Seems a dog sniffed his groin and found Rohypnol pills brought over from Mexico. Is nothing private, anymore?

PS: Yes, it would seem that this thread is morphing into something bigger. Go with the flow.
