The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Friday that property owners can challenge government access to their land, which some view as a major victory for property rights.
The Court’s ruling stemmed from a case involving a Pennsylvania woman, Rose Mary Knick whose land the town of Scott Township used in 2013 to access an old burial ground. Knick didn’t grant the town permission to come on her property, and she sought damaged in court for what she viewed as an invasion of her privacy.
