Court rules on law giving state surveillance power on private land

A court has ruled that a state practice giving authorities the ability to conduct warrantless trespassing and surveillance on private land is unconstitutional.

Officials with the Institute for Justice described it as a victory.

"The ruling is not just a victory for Benton County (Tennessee) landowners Terry Rainwaters and Hunter Hollingsworth," who sued after the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency ignored their "No Trespassing" signs and conducted operations on their private land, the IJ explained.

"The victory also applies broadly to private land across Tennessee."

It's almost a mute point , these days.
Goo Girl can track you almost anywhere. Whether you have a phone or not.

Yeah, they can track you, but at least now they need a warrant BEFORE any evidence collected, or it'll have no standing in a courtroom.  (We hope.)
Like the article says:

Thanks to the court’s ruling, Tennesseans can now rest easy knowing that they’re secure from these sorts of intrusions on their land."

I think I'd hold off celebrating full-bore just yet. Still, it's definitely a step in the RIGHT direction.

(And it's, "moot" point, Silly.  lol)
