In theory it’s supposed to be unconstitutional to use FLIR on a house without a warrant to find evidence. In practice though, I’m sure they can easily ruin someone’s life for a while based off of “heat signatures”. This isn’t even mentioning what they could get away with if the Feds are involved. Who even knows anymore?

Can’t use it to find evidence or get a warrant, but absolutely do use it to figure out who to target/where to look for evidence.
Herring Vs. United States set the de facto legal basis that allows for this sort of evidence laundering.
