While the United States Constitution protects houses, including the curtilage, evidence obtained outside the curtilage may be admissible. In considering extent-of-curtilage questions, the courts have decided that:
A) a barn located 60 yards from the house and not within the area enclosed by a fence surrounding the house is within the curtilage.
B) the fact that the home is surrounded by an enclosure has no bearing on whether the area is part of the curtilage.
C) the Fourth Amendment does not prohibit the warrantless seizure of garbage left for collection on the sidewalk outside the yard of the home.
D) if the entry of officers on the property amounts to a trespass, it makes no difference whether the property is part of the curtilage.
