Considering thermal imaging was considered a search requiring a warrant, it would make sense for any sort of detection not available to normal human senses to be a search.

- kansface 11y agoWhat about dogs?
- beeboop 11y agoThe supreme court had issue with the thermal devices because they weren't generally available to the public. Dogs are generally available and they're smelling things outside your home/car where they don't need a warrant.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoThis is interesting. You have to add an extra filter to make a camera stop seeing infrared. How it was determined thermal devices aren't generally available?
- talmand 11y agoI would assume the reasoning was that if you can't go to the local electronics store and buy the item in use by police, then it isn't commonly available to the public. But, from my quick reading of the case details, the outcome of that case is pure crap.
