so in your opinion police patrolling the streets are an "unnecessary surveillance of the innocent"?

because disclosed pools are already known to the State. Technically is not surveillance if they already know that you have a pool and they actually find a pool there (what a surprise!)

The street is a public place, but my yard is not.

Furthermore the police does not check in once every X hours with me personally, but yes if they would, i would consider that an annoiance =)

your yard is not yours.

it's at your disposal.

the soil your yard is built on is a State property.

If they have probable cause, they can enter and check whatever they want to.

They can also look at it from outside, without your permission.

this is a once in a lifetime check
