Court Rules in Favor of Privacy in the Garage
The Minnesota Court of Appeals says that the right to privacy extends to the garage. Police blocked a garage door from closing then entered to question Chad Haase a Farmington resident about impaired driving. The court ruled that privacy extents to the garage because it is not considered as--open to the public. The ruling will suppress evidence obtained by police through a voluntary breath test as a result of the illegal entry.
