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.
