Comment on Bay Area sheriff seeks drone for thermal imaging and surveillanceparent

Comments

Not sure what you mean by "enforced".

Do cops currently do thermal scans of random citizen's homes? Probably.

Can they go to a judge and say "the thermal scan says this house has a marijuana grow-op in it, give me a warrant"? No.

But they can file bogus paperwork saying an informant told an officer that the house has drugs in order to get a warrant.
