- Law: Wash. Const. art. I, § 7 (protection of private affairs and protection from warrantless search and seizure- invasion of home)
- Outcome: The court reversed the conviction and determined that warrantless infrared surveillance violated Washington State Constitution and Fourth Amendment. Without the information obtained through the search, there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate probable cause to allow the officers to search defendant’s home .
- Special Notes: Washington decisions have noted that the home “receives heightened constitutional protection,”4 because the home is a private place.
