you need a warrant as far as I can determine
I see a boom in new holsters and outerwear featuring RAM, (Radar Absorbent Material). Sometime I think we are witnessing a new arms race but on a more personal level than we’ve ever seen before. Sort of like ‘Cold War’ at the local level instead of between nations.
I see a future for radar jamming equipment perhaps as small as a cell phone to be carried on the person or as large as one needs to screw with radar near the home. If people can randomly generate radar for invasive purposes, I claim the right to randomly screw with it.
How difficult would it be to build a polarimetric radar detector and jammer?
Kamal Sarabandi?
Does the radar have a muslim exception?
The current legal status would be linked very strongly to the expectation of privacy. When you are out in public, your expectation of privacy is reduced. According to SCOTUS, in it’s ruling on Terry vs Ohio held that the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures is not violated when a police officer stops a suspect on the street and frisks him or her without probable cause to arrest, if the police officer has a reasonable suspicion that the person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime and has a reasonable belief that the person “may be armed and presently dangerous.
However, the very NATURE of a concealed weapon is the expectation of privacy. It would follow then, that as long as you are not committing, or can not be reasonably suspected as having committed a crime, that a warrant would be necessary to use this device. Further, if the device is used without warrant, without any other reasonable cause, the officer would have no grounds for detention.
But you never know how the courts are going to rule.
It would seem to me though that this technology might be most appropriate for a security checkpoint as it might be better than current detection equipment.
I think that if the irradiate you without a warrant or your consent... that you can sue them.
I wonder if my stainless steel hip replacement looks like a gun or just an aging hippy?
