The police helicopter was flying at about 400 hundred feet when it passed over Mark’s yard. The passenger in the helicopter, also a police officer, looked down and saw marijuana growing in a greenhouse that was in Mark’s fenced back yard, located about 10 yards from Mark’s house. The police officer took photos of the marijuana, which she then used to obtain a search warrant. The police executed the warrant and seized the marijuana. Can the evidence be used against Mark at trial?

Officer Beyer is off duty cruising along in his aero-lite craft when he sees an unusual field of vegetation down below.  Later that day he decides to drive by the field to take a better look.  However, the field is bordered on the front with a stone fence and a “No Trespassing “sign. However, he climbs over the rocks and walks into the field a few hundred feet when his suspicions are confirmed-it is a marijuana field.  He uses his observation to obtain a search warrant and the plants are seized, the owner identified and charged.  Is the search and warrant valid?
