Re: Is a Thermal Imaging search needful of a warrant?

Now, technology means you can view things from outside the home that you previously needed a warrant for. Thus, this too should need a warrant. What is the relationship between 'search' and mechanism? Reread the "Then the Supreme Court ruled" part of my previous post. ---- # # And, no. I'm no 'leftie'. Hard to believe, considering your main concern was frequencies and not privacy. You even admit the information is NOT visible by human eyes without the hardware. As far as I'm concerned you've outed yourself as an alien species, just visiting this planet. NANU-NANU.
