Court OKs warrantless use of hidden surveillance cameras | Politics and Law - CNET News: "Police are allowed to install hidden surveillance cameras on private property without obtaining a search warrant, a federal judge said yesterday."
"Callahan based his reasoning on a 1984 Supreme Court case called Oliver v. United States, in which a majority of the justices said that "open fields" could be searched without warrants because they're not covered by the Fourth Amendment. What lawyers call "curtilage," on the other hand, meaning the land immediately surrounding a residence, still has greater privacy protections."
