Does a person convicted of a felony lose his/her right to privacy ?

A person does not lose their right to privacy once they have served their time.  However certain states may require that if you are convicted of a sexual crime against another person that you register with the municipal government in which you live.  This can affect your privacy however it does not.  \n\nFrom the website "Online Lawyer Source"\n\n"A felony conviction is the legal guilty verdict reached in a felony criminal case. A felony is considered a serious criminal act or omission which is more severe than a misdemeanor crime. Historically, a felony conviction resulted in a forfeiture of property, dismemberment or death. A state or federal felony conviction today can lead to jail time, probation, fines, restitution, community service, mandatory drug or other rehabilitative treatment, and forfeiture of various legal rights (including the right to vote, serve on a jury, hold government positions, bear arms, and serve in the Armed Forces). \n\nThere are numerous types of criminal offenses that can be penalized through a felony conviction. The most commonly committed felonious acts include drug offenses, property offenses and financial crimes (white collar felonies), violent offences such as rape, murder, and assault with a weapon, and non-violent offenses...."\n\nHowever one has to argue whether or not the right to privacy is guaranteed regardless of a felony conviction.  I don't believe that the right to privacy is a constituional right, that is explicitly spelled out.  I believe it is an inferred right that has been granted based on the existence of other rights.  I'm not a lawyer, but to answer the question of whether or not you lose your "right to privacy" after a felony conviction my answer is no.

ENtering a dwelling without permission, at night (some jurisdictions at day) with the intention to commit a felony

I don't think so, unless the prior conviction has you on probation or on a sex offendor register.

Everything depends on how serious the crime is and where the person is incarcerated.\n\nObviously, murderers don't have the same privleges as check forgers, but they have the same rights.

Your friend still has rights, but generally one of the terms that your friend may have agreed to as part of the agreement for probabtion is that the police can search without cause any time they want as often as they want. Your friend would be subject to the same type of "harrassment," as you put it, if he/she were in jail or prison. The purpose being that, while you friend is not in jail or prison, you friend needs to obey the law at all times to avoid being sent to jail or prison.

In most states, disclosure of a criminal record other than your own is a violation of FOIA (Freedom of Information Act). You may be able to contact an agency and have them obtain that information for you for a fee, but generally, that information is not open to the public unless they are on the sex offender registry.

that would depend on where the person's criminal background is. in some places it is available for free, other places you have to pay, and there are still other places that the information is not considered public record, and therefore not available to the general public.

It depends on the State.  It is a permanent disqualification in many states, but here in Texas, a felon regains the right to register to vote when the case is fully discharged, i.e. no more time, probation or parole.

Go to your state local police station, they can do a search and give you enough information under the Information Freedom Act to let you know something about the person. Plus what folks don't seem to realize is that once you're a criminal you've pretty much lost all or most of your rights. In other words you're fair game.

Convicted felons do not have to register like sex offenders, and you're correct when you say they can't bear arms, but they can vote.  The only other restriction I know of (which varies from state to state) is convicted felons may not be able to run for public office and may also be prohibited from working for law enforcement/police in any capacity.  Other than that, convicted felons can go see a sibling's high school football game or to a class reunion or whatever, assuming they're not in prison.  And yes, they can leave the state unless leaving the state is a violation of their probation/parole.

That's why he gets to use the jail phone to call someone. California privacy laws are different from the laws in your state; but laws in all states are similar because they are all governed by the Constitution and United States Supreme Court rulings on similar issues. That means California law may prohibit the release of any information regarding an inmate without his consent. You should be able to find out if that person is in jail under Freedom of Information Acts in California, but they can require you to ask for it in writing and in person---depending on California law. If the agency you are dealing with won't tell you why they refuse to confirm his status, you might call the California Highway Patrol and ask them what info is allowed under state law. \nAlso, you can try to find the website for the agency that you think is holding him. Some list names of prisoners incarcerated on their website.

Every question like this will depend on the state.  In California there are measures that can be taken for some misdemeanors to be expunged but only one that would affect their registration requirements.  (in other words, expungement does not mean it REALLY goes away, the courts and Law Enforcement still get to use it, it is just no longer a PUBLIC issue for employment etc.).\nMost other states have similar procedures, and some do not allow ANY expungement.\nAll depends upon the state, the crime and often times the punishment imposed.\n\n** And there are some in CA who can keep their names off the internet under certain circumstances.**

Its likely you'll never get back the privilege of owning a gun.  In most cases, once a felon, always a felon.

Convicted felons can be deprived of certain rights that otherwise are guaranteed by the constitution. This is an ancient and accepted legal tradition known as "civil death."  \n\nThis deprivation of rights is limited however to those things which are construed as being privileges of citizenship rather than fundamental human rights. Gun ownership, voting, the practice of certain professions, and holding civic office are the most prominent of such privileges.
