An interesting read as to what constitutes a legal police search based on probable cause:

The whole article is good. Here's an excerpt:

"However, use of sophisticated devices to enhance the
officers' observation powers to reveal things not visible with
the naked eye from some lawful vantage point
will likely
constitute a search
. Thus, when police used a 600-millimeter
camera lens from a distance of 100 yards (the nearest point the
officers had a right to be) to glimpse through the fan louvers of
an opaque greenhouse surrounded by brush and two fences, their
observations of marijuana plants were held to be a search. (20)
Therefore, if the use of enhancement devices is contemplated
during a surveillance, absent emergency circumstances, a valid
search warrant should be obtained prior to its institution."

IN LAY TERMS...THAT'S ULTRA-VIOLET LIGHT THAT ILLUMINATES EVEN THE SMALLEST AMOUNTS OF METHAMPHETAMINE.

"You would aim, point, shoot--and it would say meth for truly invisible quantities on the contaminated surface."
