Alaska Supreme Court Scores a Victory for Privacy
Rules law enforcement must have warrant to use aircraft, zoom lenses.
The Alaska Supreme Court ruled that law enforcement must have a warrant prior to using aircraft and binoculars or cameras with zoom lenses to surveil areas around homes Friday.
The decision by Alaska’s highest court states “that because small airplane travel is so common in Alaska, and because any passenger might peer into your yard and snap a picture of you, law enforcement officials may do the same,” according to The Associated Press.
“We disagree,” the decision continued.
