Guest sleeping in a camper had standing

Defendant had standing in the camper of another in which he was staying as a guest that was searched without a warrant. United States v. Eaves, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 1815 (E.D. Tenn. January 8, 2008):

Based on his status as an overnight guest staying and sleeping in the camper, the Court concludes that defendant Eaves has met his burden of showing that he had a legitimate expectation of privacy for purposes of the Fourth Amendment. As an overnight guest, defendant has standing to assert a claim that a warrantless search of the camper by the police violates his rights protected under the Fourth Amendment. Minnesota v. Olson, 495 U.S. at 95-100.
