-______ _____ ______- in the U.S. law of criminal procedure, is the legal doctrine that a "warrantless search of the area outside a property owner's curtilage" does not violate the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution; was established by Hester v. US 1924 -_______ v. ______- 1984 Open fields cannot support a reasonable expectation of privacy and are thus not protected by the Fourth Amendment. -house, home, domicile protected by the 4th amendment unlike open-fields b.c of plain view doctrine -______- of a house or dwelling is the land immediately surrounding it, including any closely associated buildings and structures, but excluding any associated "open fields beyond", and also excluding any closely associated buildings, structures, or divisions that contain the separate intimate activities of their own respective occupants with those occupying residents being persons other than those residents of the house or dwelling of which the building is associated. -Boyd v. US 1986 -associated w/ a persons home and may include residential yards, fenced areas, and garages - proximity of building to home, use of building -_____ v. ______- 1987 Is a search warrant needed to peer into the open side of a barn that is located in a field on private property? No. The Supreme Court held that the barn and the area around it lay outside the protected area of curtilage around Dunn's house. The barn was separated from the house by a fence and was a substantial distance away from the house, the officers had other data that lead them to suspect Dunn, and Dunn did little to protect the barn from observation. Even if Dunn did have a reasonable expectation of privacy, the search still did not violate the Fourth Amendment because the officers never entered the barn. Justice Antonin Scalia concurred, writing that the officers perception of the way Dunn used the barn was not as important as the way the barn actually was used.
