Criminal Law

Jasper robs the home of Peter and Carly, two meth dealers. He steals expensive jewelry, meth equipment, and meth. You are the assigned detective to the robbery and receive a reliable tip that Jasper has stashed the goods in his home. You want to use thermal imaging to detect the presence of the stolen items. A senior detective advises you that you do not need a warrant. Based upon your reading of Kyllo v. United States, what should you do? How does the court’s decision reinforce ethical behavior and constitutional limits on law-enforcement officers? Write a journal assignment that addresses these questions.
