Kyllo v. United States 533 U.S. 27 (2001) held that the use of a thermal imaging device from a public vantage point to monitor the radiation of heat from a person’s home was a search within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment and thus required a warrant. Because the police in this case did not have a warrant the Court reversed Kyllo’s conviction for growing marijuana.
