[Sherman Logan]

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated

Doesn't say anything about entire acreages.

Be interesting to see how SCOTUS rules.

I like to test these sorts of things using absurd examples.

Imagine your house is on one of those postage stamp lots and you come home from work one day to find a video camera attached to a tree in your tiny back yard pointed down at your garden to see what you are growing.

Does that sound legit?

That’s what happened here. The yard was just bigger. And I don’t believe the constitution has any limit on the size of your property.
