In what circumstances will the police lull a person into a false sense of privacy?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Hammons, 235 Cal.App.3d 1710, 5 Cal.Rptr.2d 317 (Cal. App. 1991):

We disagree. Here, the representations of privacy, if anything, were stronger. In North, the lulling did not arise from explicit verbal representations by the police, but from actions. The detective who had arrested the defendant surrendered his private office to the defendant and the defendant's wife "so that they might converse ... exit[ed] and shut ... the door, leaving them entirely alone." (North v. Superior Court, supra, 8 Cal.3d at p. 311, 104 Cal.Rptr. 833, 502 P.2d 1305.)
