[b]Court OKs warrantless use of hidden surveillance cameras[/b]
Quote
Police are allowed in some circumstances to install hidden surveillance cameras on private property without obtaining a search warrant, a federal judge said yesterday.

They've been doing it for years. The court decision just makes it "legal." The next step is to allow accompanying audio, because "open fields" can be searched. Your home will be next. They've used surveillance devices- which can "bug" 20+ acres- installed on utility poles sans any warrant for years in rural areas.
