A presentation released to Motherboard under the Freedom of Information Act details how the FBI briefed pilots and agents about its aviation programs.

The "Indoctrination to Bureau Aircraft Operations" presentation comes in three parts, and is dated April 2009. Across over 330 pages, the Field Flight Operations Unit spells out a wealth of legal, technical, and safety issues for operating aircraft on FBI missions.

[...] "Put simply, you can't look through walls of a home without a search warrant," the presentation neatly summarizes. This is the same advice given to agents by a separate FBI presentation on drone use.

The three parts of the "Indoctrination to Bureau Aircraft Operations" are available on documentcloud: Part #1, Part #2, and Part #3.

    Never heard of parallel construction? Using infrared cameras to even look into houses other than ones you have a warrant to look into should be outright illegal, period.
