A new device called the Range-R operates like a stud finder. However, instead of looking for studs in the wall, it detects motion beyond the wall, including breathing as far as 50 feet away. In the past, the U.S. Supreme Court had determined that police cannot use high-tech equipment, such as this Range-R, to see inside people's homes without obtaining a search warrant first.
It is unknown at this time how often this device is being used or if it is being used properly in conjunction with a properly obtained warrant. However, it is known that at least 200 of these devices have been purchased by 50 law enforcement agencies.
