Brandon McGrath v. State of Indiana

Statement of the Case1

After law enforcement officers followed up on a tip from CrimeStoppers, they requested a warrant to use thermal imaging technology to gain additional evidence to confirm whether an active indoor marijuana grow operation existed at the location designated in the tip. The warrant was granted and the results of the imaging showed higher than normal heat signatures emanating from an upstairs area of the house at that address. Officers requested a search warrant for the premises based on evidence presented in both search warrant applications.
