Until 2001, law enforcement agents gathered evidence about grow houses by using what are called thermal imaging devices. Such devices were used by law enforcement to scan buildings in order to determine if heat emanations coming from the buildings were consistent with high intensity lamps often used by marijuana growers. However, in 2001 in the case of Kyllo v. United States, the United States Supreme Court ruled that when the Government uses a device (such as a thermal imaging device) that is not in general public use to explore details of a private home that would previously have been unknowable without physical intrusion, the surveillance is a Fourth Amendment search and is presumptively unreasonable without a warrant.

Because of the decision reached in Kyllo, law enforcement agents may no longer use thermal imaging devices when investigating possible grow houses

I would say it's mostly true. Check out this case. Of course, I don't know what happened with the case, but they got a search warrant based on imaging. Tricky bastards.

that dudes got some bad luck

This is a great time to note the difference between can't and shouldn't. LEO shouldn't use thermal imaging because it is a violation of the 4 th amendment. That being said they can will and do use it to ID houses then they pull the electrical usage because a "neighbor reportd the smell" regardless of whether or not one did and hey what do ya know? Abnormal usage time to call swat.

very true

not dealing with the most honest bunch .......but hearsay (some one saying you did it ) thermal imaging and power useage have been declaired inadmissible by supreme court ............its mainly that people dont know their rights and I know also that in the right instance cops will do whatever it takes just like us lol........well not just like us were more honest

hearsay does not meen CI they are kinda like cops as they are deputized for the case proceedings
