MR. JUSTICE WARD, also dissenting: I would join in Mr. Justice Schaefer’s dissent, and add: The son had “moved out” of his mother’s house 10 to 14 days preceding the search requested by his mother. He was no longer a co-occupant of the quarters he had vacated. Under the circumstances I find it strange that the majority can conclude that, by locking a door, forbidding his mother to enter or permit others to enter, the son developed, when his mother made no formal objection, a reasonable expectation of privacy in the rooms from which he had moved. I would not hold that he thereby gave himself a right of sanctuary — of what duration we do not know.
