Would the same thing apply to helicopters that fly over and can detect even one plant in a 50 acre field of corn?  They use some form of infrared but do not invade a building, just open private property at tree -top level.  They also buzz houses and circle and harass so close one can tell what clothing they are wearing and their facial features.

Supreme Court Rules Infrared Imaging of Homes Requires a Warrant

By David Ruppe


June 11 — Federal agents could not see inside Danny Lee Kyllo's home. Nor did
they have a search warrant to enter the premises.

But they did have an infrared camera that used thermal imaging technology,
enabling them to identify suspected heat lamps growing 100 marijuana plants.
