With his typical thoroughness and deep textualism that reshaped American judging, the late conservative icon threw out convictions of individuals who were arrested as a result of unconstitutional violations. In Kyllo v. United States (2001), police illegally took thermal images of a man\u2019s home to find a marijuana grow operation. In United States v.

Jardines (2013), police brought a drug dog onto a man\u2019s porch to indicate drug activity inside, again, a marijuana grow operation. To Justice Scalia, the sanctity of a person\u2019s home and property\u2014beyond the \u201creasonable expectation of privacy\u201d standard that dominates Fourth Amendment jurisprudence\u2014was to be held above the governmental interests in fighting crime.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cato: Justice Scalia: Underappreciated Fourth Amendment Defender by Jonathan Blanks: In addition to his many judicial bona fides, Justice Antonin Scalia was an underappreciated defender of the Fourth Amendment.
