Washington Law Review
Abstract
In State v. Young, the Washington Supreme Court determined that the warrantless use of an infrared thermal detection device on the home of a suspected marijuana grower was a violation of Article I, Section 7 of the Washington State Constitution. This Note argues that the court's test for determining privacy rights under Article I, Section 7 is flawed in form and fails to achieve those goals set forth by the court. It suggests an alternative test for Article I, Section 7 privacy rights as well as a remedial prerequisite standard of proof in cases involving minimally intrusive surveillance techniques.
