Police are allowed, in some circumstances, to install hidden surveillance cameras on private property without obtaining a search warrant, a federal judge decided on October 29.
According to reports from CNET, U.S. District Judge William Griesbach ruled that he was reasonable for Drug Enforcement Administration agents to enter rural property without permission and without a warrant to install multiple “covert digital surveillance cameras” in hope of uncovering evidence that 30 to 40 marijuana plants were being grown.
