The state\u2019s argument she had no expectation of privacy in the baby\u2019s room when she made the 911 call was waived because it wasn\u2019t raised in the trial court. A 911 call is not a waiver of a reasonable expectation of privacy in the home. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.search.txcourts.gov\/SearchMedia.aspx?MediaVersionID=3b798935-dc1e-4f3b-a776-a0b620678d67&amp;coa=coa03&amp;DT=Opinion&amp;MediaID=a94b5259-ad86-495f-a767-5b9c485e6fb9\">State v. Elrod<\/a>, 395 S.W.3d 869 (Tex. App. \u2013 Austin 2013):<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Neither the emergency doctrine nor plain view doctrine addresses the issue of standing. They do not create, diminish, or even measure a person&#8217;s legitimate expectation of privacy. Nor do they suggest the waiver of any expectation of privacy. Rather, these doctrines serve to justify or excuse the governmental intrusion upon a person&#8217;s legitimate expectation of privacy under certain circumstances. These doctrines do not support the State&#8217;s assertion that Elrod waived her expectation of privacy by calling for emergency aid for P.E. and thus lacked standing to contest the subsequent search of a particular room within the home. We reject the State&#8217;s contention that by inviting emergency personnel into a residence to protect or preserve life, a person somehow relinquishes her expectation of privacy in the home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>b2evALnk.b2WPAutP <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/?p=8442\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"pingsdone","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8442"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8442\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
