24/7 video surveillance violates 4th amendment rights
When Colorado Springs police officers suspected a man of drug trafficking, they attached a surveillance camera to a utility pole outside of his home without first securing a warrant. Police had live video footage via the remotely controlled camera, which could pan left and right, tilt up and down, and zoom in and out on command.
Law enforcement surveilled the man's home, including his front yard, driveway, and fenced-in backyard over a period of three months. Officers also stored the footage indefinitely for later use. Police then obtained a warrant to search the man's home based on activity they witnessed via the pole-mounted camera.
