I could put a sign on my living room wall that says &quot;Anyone who sees this sign owes me $100.&quot; Do you think that would hold up in court?<p>Of course it wouldn&#x27;t. Asserting something does not make it true. Your example is as trivial as mine, from a legal point of view -- you can&#x27;t create constitutional rights that don&#x27;t exist simply by asserting them. The courts decide where people have an expectation of privacy; you can&#x27;t just create that expectation by writing it down.
