This seems pretty open and shut. Drug dealer though he may be, we can't allow such a blatant invasion of privacy to set the standard. The dude had a 6 foot tall fence around his yard and the police think it's okay to put a camera up on a pole to surveil him without a warrant? And they did it around the clock for 3 months...

If I point a camera into my neighbor's yard and run it 24/7 for 3 months, I'm probably in deep doo-doo even if he has no fence at all. With a fence, I'd refer to Kyllo v. US, though that disturbingly was a 5-4 decision rather than 9-0 :(. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyllo_v._United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyllo_v._United_States
