In most states, any agreements or contracts signed by a person when they are clearly intoxicated are void.
Yes that is contract law 101. However, this is a criminal matter so it does not apply. The individual gives up his privacy rights when providing the PC to a technician. Happens quite often and almost always ends up in a conviction. Unless the technician was pouring over the contents at the request of a law enforcement agency there is no 4th amendment violation.
Wouldn’t he have to prove he was inebriated?
Good to know, thanks.
