Court to hear IR heat signature case

[Griff]

"Drug laws should be repealed so that safe, gvmt.-regulated (make a note of this, this'll probably be the only time I advocate government regulation in public) drugs are available on the free market." Go back to Cuba, pinko. <sarcasm>

tw seems comfortable with arguing for some consistancy in privacy laws as they are already interpreted. I am comfortable with the idea of taking prudent steps to ensure my neighbor or some other private person only knows what I wish him to know. However, since law enforcement have virtually unlimited resources, due to assett forfiture, I expect them to be held on a tighter leash. A peeping Tom neighbor is one thing, he could do much harm, but he cannot legally kick in my door, seize my assetts, and throw me in prison (temporarily since I am virtue personified). I'm not comfortable with allowing any observation of light outside the visible spectrum, without a search warrant.
