Re: [aroid-l] HID Lights

From: "Randy Story" story at caltech.edu> on 2002.10.14 at 01:58:17(9539) Hermine, At least some things are indeed unconstitutional--I forgot about this one! The Supreme Court ruled last year in Kyllo vs. United States that it is illegal to use a thermal imaging device to look inside one's home for signs of HID lights. In the case in question, Kyllo was growing marijuana inside and DEA agents used the thermal imaging results to obtain a search warrant. A divided court ruled that it was an unlawful search and the 5-4 split represented one of the more unusual combinations of justices.
