Drones and the Fourth Amendment

Drones are now a routine police tool. Agencies use them to answer calls, search for missing people, hold a perimeter, and document scenes. Courts are still working out when a drone flight becomes a Fourth Amendment search. This program gives attorneys the framework to answer that question. It starts with the two tests for a search and the law of curtilage and open fields, then covers the Supreme Court's aerial surveillance cases, optical aids and low-altitude flights, and the first drone cases, including Long Lake Township v. Maxon and the Dircks litigation. The program then turns to drone cases decided from 2023 through 2026: flight paths that kept the evidence in, a warrant that survived an assumed illegal flight, a drone sent inside a home, county drone programs facing civil suits, a warrant obtained for the drone flight itself, and drones in use of force cases. It closes with FAA rules, state drone statutes, the emergency aid standard in Case v. Montana, and practical guidance for attorneys who advise agencies, litigate suppression motions, or defend civil rights claims.

Justia only reports attendance in jurisdictions in which a particular Justia CLE Webinar is officially accredited. Lawyers may need to self-submit their certificates for CLE credit in jurisdictions not listed above.

Note that CLE credit, including partial credit, cannot be earned outside of the relevant accreditation period. To earn credit for a course, a lawyer must watch the entire course within the relevant accreditation period. Lawyers who have viewed a presentation multiple times may not be able to claim credit in their jurisdiction more than once. Justia reserves the right, at its discretion, to grant an attendee partial or no credit, in accordance with viewing duration and other methods of verifying course completion.

At this time, Justia only offers CLE courses officially accredited in certain states. Lawyers may generate a generic attendance certificate to self-submit credit in their own jurisdiction, but Justia does not guarantee that lawyers will receive their desired CLE credit through the self-submission or reciprocity process.
