Finally, the U.S. Supreme Court has voted to strengthen fourth ammendment rights rather than weaken them. (For those of you who slept through your 9th grade civics class, the fourth ammendment to the constitution protects you, in theory at least, from unreasonable searches). Justice Scalia, with whom I rarely agree, hit the mail on the head: “Where, as here, the government uses a device that is not in general public use to explore details of the home that would previously have been unknowable without physical intrusion, the surveillance is a ‘search’ and is presumptively unreasonable without a warrant.”
