Can the DEA Hide Surveillance Cameras on Your Land?

Last fall, a U.S. district court judge in Wisconsin ruled that it was all right for the DEA to install warrantless cameras on a family’s property in order to monitor and eventually arrest them for growing marijuana. The family faces $10 million in fines and life in prison. The case is now headed for appeal.

    Can the DEA hide surveillance on your land without a warrant? Sure, why not. Hey, what’s the problem if you have nothing to hide. Only guilty people need civil rights, the rest of us can just throw ourselves on the mercy of a benevolent and omniscient Welfare/Warfare state.

    Our wise and caring masters know what is best for us, we just need to keep our noses to the crony capitalist grind stone and do what we’re told and everything will be just fine. All hail Barack Hussein Obama, our Lord and Savior, our Dear Leader, our benefactor. Without Him, we are nothing.
