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

In this case, enforcement doesn't matter quite so much -- if a heat scan counts as an illegal search, the evidence is inadmissable. Illegal searches happen all the time, and for most people there isn't much recourse. The fact that evidence gathered through illegal searches is generally not valid is usually enough to discourage illegal searches to the extent that the cops are more interested in building a case than they are in harassing you.
