Too lazy. Can someone explain "curtilage" to me, please.

 

Basically the area around your house where you would have a reasonable expectation of privacy, e.g. your back deck/yard. It's treated the same as the inside of your house when applying the Fourth Amendment.

If you don't have a legal right to be there, then it's most likely to be suppressed...

Just call it "landscaping," for Chrissakes. Good grief. If you introduce a word that a journalist doesn't know, that's an issue.

So you're telling me people use terms such as "curtilage" on a regular basis? No, nobody does. It's an unnecessary term that is already covered by "landscaping."

I had never heard this word before this thread. Can also pertain to buildings on the property.
