Court Restricts Heat-Sensor Searches
By David Stout
WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court today reiterated the right of privacy in the
age of technology, ruling in an Oregon drug case that the police cannot use
a heat-seeking device to probe the interior of a home without a search
warrant.
They restricted the use of HEAT SENSORS but they did not restrict the police from
using estimates of exceesive power usage by the power companies. That's how they
"caught" Zane. The thermal imaging sensors would have probably shown that the
source was a computer and not growing plants. BTW they also use both technologies for
detecking stills built inside of homes.
