Issue: (1) Whether a “search” occurs when the government takes a purposeful, investigative act directed toward an individual’s home and curtilage, regardless of whether the individual has a “reasonable expectation of privacy” in the area; and (2) whether, even under Katz v. United States, long-term, continuous, and surreptitious surveillance of an individual’s home and curtilage constitutes a “search.”
