DENVER - Police usage of Doppler radar to detect whether someone is in a house could raise "grave Fourth Amendment questions," the 10th Circuit ruled Tuesday.
The case stems from the hunt by police for Kansas parolee Steven Denson. After Denson had stopped checking in with his probation officer while on release from a sentence for armed robbery, police used a utility bill to track him down and search his home.
Though Denson pleaded guilty to illegal possession of firearms, he preserved his right to appeal claims that the entry and search of his home were unlawful.
The 10th Circuit sided with the government but it acknowledged that the government's use of a Doppler radar device to detect whether someone was in the house was problematic.
Writing for the three-judge panel, Judge Neil Gorsuch noted that the cases forces the court confront, though not resolve fully, "how the Fourth Amendment interacts with the government's use of radar technology to peer inside a suspect's home."

Interesting: Google executive to help GOP close the Democrat's vote harvesting technological gap...
Hillary Clinton hardest hit...

Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt may have helped Barack Obama build a political technology juggernaut, but now another top Google executive is trying to help Republicans catch up.
Michele Weslander Quaid, who serves as the company’s “Innovation Evangelist” and chief technology officer for its public-sector division, is joining the board of directors of Voter Gravity, a campaign technology company that serves GOP candidates and conservative groups.
It’s a bit of a political coming-out for Weslander Quaid, who joined Google in 2011 and had not previously been active in partisan politics.
The move comes as Google, which had become known in Washington as a reliable source of campaign cash and technology talent to Democrats, is working to diversify its political footprint. The tech giant has pumped cash into conservative groups and hired an array of Republicans to interface with the press and politicians, including former Rep. Susan Molinari, who became head of its Washington office in 2012, as well as former George W. Bush aide Rob Saliterman and GOP campaign flak Jill Hazelbaker.

Great News! Hugo Chavez Wants Nuke Technology!

Venezuela has 513 billion barrels of oil, twice as much as Saudi Arabia, according to a report released in January, but Hugo Chavez says he wants nuclear technology for when the oil runs out. Of course, Chavez says he doesn't want an atomic bomb. Only Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is dumb enough to believe him.
Chavez said Moscow and Caracas would strengthen security ties to "continue increasing Venezuela's defense capability" and move ahead with cooperation on nuclear energy.
"We are not going to build the atomic bomb but we will develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. We have to prepare for the post-petroleum era," Chavez said on Thursday.
