Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit September 21, 1994, 92-5181 (United States v. Jerry Ford)

BIRCH, Circuit Judge:

In this appeal, we decide for the first time in this circuit whether surveillance of a mobile home using a thermal imager constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment. Because appellant exhibited neither a subjective nor an objective expectation of privacy in heat vented from his mobile home, we find that the thermal imagery did not constitute an impermissible search.
