I remember a case where police placed or retrieved something from a car in the driveway without a warrant. The reasoning was that your driveway is not private property.


You might be remembering the FBI placing GPS tracking on cars in drive ways, which was considered fair game and not requiring a warrant.

But as far as the GPS tracking, that was declared to be a 4th amendment violation as well.
