U.S. v. House

The defendant asked the Seventh Circuit to reconsider a prior decision in which the appellate court held that the warrantless use of pole cameras to observe a home does not amount to a “search” under the Fourth Amendment. The Seventh Circuit reaffirmed its earlier decision and affirmed the decision of the district court, explaining that its decision relied on Supreme Court precedent and was consistent with the rulings of other federal courts that have been asked to consider the issue. (LEE, concurring and ROVNER, specially concurring)
