Freedom has nothing to fear from the truth.
The court has now held that the use of heat-detection devices does not require a search warrant. The decision seems to have turned on two points. First, the technology in question does not have the power to see through walls, as was originally claimed, therefore it does not look into the home. Second, a person cannot have an expectation of privacy for heat escaping from a home any more than one could have an expectation of privacy about smoke coming out of chimney. Consequently, people who are using indoor lights thus should take care that they are not overheating their homes.
