I know for searches you need to have a reasonable expectation of privacy for the search to be illegal.

For example, I saw an article a few years ago where a cop was literally walking a drug dog around a house. The dog detected drugs so they busted the door down. The courts threw the case out, there was no reason for a drug dog to be searching around his house.

I’d expect if you had a drugs or a dead body in plain view of a window then your expectation of privacy is gone.
