Supreme Court of the United States

City of Ontario, California v. Jeff Quon — Stevens, J., Concurring

June 17, 2010177 L. Ed. 2d 216

Summary

Justice Stevens joined the Court's opinion but wrote separately to highlight that the Court sensibly declined to resolve which standard from O'Connor v. Ortega governs employee privacy expectations. He concluded Quon had a limited expectation of privacy regardless of the standard applied. Justice Scalia concurred in the judgment but criticized the Court for addressing the threshold Fourth Amendment issue unnecessarily.
