#1 Solution put up a fence. Try and work that into an "easement" argument. Fences serve the purpose of keeping people out and things in or out, even the police. It's time more people on the right wake up and see the constant attack on our liberties for what they are. The USSP needs to get it's head out of it's colective ass.

#3 Solution put up a fence.

Or, liberal use of dog repellent on the property (as long as the property area isn't measured in acres) should do the trick.

#5 A fence doesn't work if it blocks the path to the front door of your house, and that is the key. The Supremes have long recognized an "authority" to approach your front door, but now they recognize an "authority" to search when policeman are on that approach, without a warrant. Even if your fence gate has a "KEEP OUT" sign on it, there are already many occasions, like process service, that authorize somebody to pass through your gate whether you want them to or not, in the furtherance of their activity.

#8 Maybe you could put up a "front door" at the end of the path, adjacent to the sidewalk. Put a doorbell next to it. No actual fence or anything, just a door.

#9 Jackal: A "door", legally, is access to a dwelling with walls and a weatherproof ceiling. Property taxes are based on these same factors. So, your "fence door" would be seen, legally, as a "gate" on the fence, with no particular protections.

#10 except that dead bolt on the gate would make un-warranted intrusion trespassing, IMHO, with an intercom or buzzer available

#13 And I need all these fences, gates, moats, and draw bridges for what? There's no meth to be smelled at my door. And if there was some to be smelled next door, then I would hope that the police would find it.

You must have more police protection than I do. The police here are stretched so thin that they can't even weed out all the stop-sign runners at my kids' bus stops. I'm not expecting a door-to-door search.

You'd be amazed at what a government entity will do, and to what lengths they'll go to do it, regardless of budget difficulties.

#15 Or understaffing. :)

#16 Don't know but I wouldn't put it too lightly. Dogs sniff lots of stuff. Basically you open the door to unhindered house searches.
The cops say the dog sniffed something and get a warrant. Whatever the dog sniffed (or not sniffed at all) would be irrelevant once police is in your house.
Very slippery slope.
