PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Summary facts- In the first case, Kentucky State police searched Ray E. Oliver’s farm, acting on reports that marijuana was grown there. A gate marked with a “No Trespassing” sign surrounded the field. Police found marijuana in the field about a mile from Oliver’s home.
Prosecution argument-
Open field cannot support a expectation of privacy and thus not protected by the fourth amendment.

Defendant arguments- going onto private property without the owners consent, when there was warnings saying "stay out".

Ruleing of the majority-
An individual may not legitimently demanded privacy for activity conducted out doors in fields except in the area immediately surrounded the house.

Why does it matter?
It matters so officers don't do the same mistake, and go up to the house with a search warrant instead of transposing.
