Search & Seizure – Motion to Suppress
2014AP2387-CR State of Wisconsin v. Ryan H. Tentoni
Ryan Tentoni asserts a privacy interest in text messages sent by him and discovered through a warrantless search of Wayne Wilson’s phone. Tentoni seeks suppression of the text messages and other subsequently obtained phone records as fruit of the government’s illegal search of his text messages stored in Wilson’s phone. Tentoni does not have an objectively reasonable expectation of privacy as he relinquished any claim to privacy in the text messages delivered to Wilson’s phone. We affirm.
