Precence seems to point to any time the Police take unusual actions to monitor someone, that they need a warrant. Even passively flying over a house and taking in the natural radiation being emitted, and using a thermal imager to monitor houses at random, was deemed Unconstitutional by SCOTUS.

The answer to that is that the use of IR technology is restricted when looking at a home. You can get a warrant for that. It does not apply to out buildings on te same property. Not sure why, it would seem to be private property to me. That is the precedence.

The visible spectrum is considered open field.
