In <em>United States v. Hay<\/em>, federal agents installed a surveillance camera on a pole across the street from Bruce Hay\u2019s home as part of a disability-fraud investigation and monitored his home for 68 days. Hay claimed the surveillance violated the Fourth Amendment and moved to suppress evidence obtained through the pole surveillance. The <span style=\"color: #241f21;\">brief<\/span>, filed by RCFP, argues that not only does the Fourth Amendment require a warrant before engaging in such targeted and persistent surveillance that would chill First Amendment rights, but that the surveillance also threatens reporter-source confidentiality and, thereby, important First Amendment freedoms. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rcfp.org\/briefs-comments\/united-states-v-hay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;
