My question involves police conduct in the State of: Idaho,
What is the law on police patrolling (aka sneaking around my backyard) on private property with out probably cause? the other night I was walking around the back of my house only to find a police officer looking through my back window. When I confronted him he seemed uncomfortable and immediately left. Was he legally allowed to do be in my backyard with no reason?
If a police officer is writing citations on my front lawn am I allowed to ask him what is going on? After all it is my property shouldn't I have the right to know what he is doing there and what the people he was writing citations to are doing?
Thanks for any advice.
