Attorney-Client Privilege [Apparently] Extends To Your Sketchy Roommate’s Bedroom

September 24, 2009

One of my favorite places to find a good laugh is a website called Passive Aggressive Notes.  The site is exactly what you’d expect: a repository for insanely funny passive-aggressive notes.  Normally, that kind of thing doesn’t have anything to do with law, but I couldn’t help but post this gem

Apparently, one roommate planned to throw a party.  The other roommate planned to be out of town and was concerned someone would use his bed.  So, logically, the roommate posted a notice invoking attorney-client privilege, the Iowa constitution, Iowa statute, federal statute, and the U.S. Constitution.  Some highlights (and I’m not even going to try to insert [sic]s):

This room is protected as later defined from trespassing.  There is privileged information contained within. . . . If you feel the need to disrespect me, State Gov’t, and Federal Gov’t, as well as those person found on the classified documents, then you will be prosecuted.

. . .

I will not jeopardize my future law career and will therefore not be afraid to press charges for violations found herein.
