I believe the distinction between the two cases is that the Washington case involved application of the state wiretap law, which bars the introduction into evidence of intercepted conversations where one party to the conversation did not consent to the taping. The CA case appears to involve a mother's search of the daughter's room (a place, I would think a minor child would have no reasonable expectation of privacy). As for the young man, if he doesn't have a turn around soon, I suspect he will end up a guest of the State by the time he is in his early 20's.
