Drone Law Today

Welcome back, Drone Law Nation! Today we are back with Part 5 of our series on the Constitutional issues raised when police use drones.   Our talk today hits the first of our "aerial surveillance" cases, California v. Ciraolo. This case deals with naked-eye observation of the "curtilage" of a home (the backyard) from a fixed-wing aircraft. Is that a "search" under the Fourth Amendment that requires a warrant? If not, why not? How might drone technology change the game here?   Listen in to find out!   Links for you: Police Drones Part 1 Police Drones Part 2 Police Drones Part 3 Police Drones Part 4 California v.
