Your Property, Their Rules?

December 26, 2025

 This episode breaks down why government officials can sometimes enter private land—and even set up cameras—without a warrant. Scott unpacks the legal doctrines that allow officials to enter private property, explains what the Supreme Court says an “open field” is and why that matters, and shares how IJ is fighting to strengthen constitutional protections for landowners.
