The 1st, 4th, and 5th Amendments also provide some protection of privacy, although in all cases the right is narrowly defined. The Constitutional right of privacy has developed alongside a statutory right of privacy which limits access to personal information. The Federal Trade Commission overwhelmingly enforces this statutory right of privacy, and the rise of privacy policies and privacy statements are evidence of its work.
The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution prevents law enforcement officers from searching in locations where the individual has a legitimate expectation of privacy, based on both an objective and subjective test without a warrant or other safeguards that protect him or her from the search being unreasonable.
