Which Supreme Court case will best assist Wilbur’s lawyers in having the child porn charges dismissed?

Wilbur and Orville are walking home in a torrential rainstorm. About half a mile from their destination, they spot a tornado heading right for them. They quickly duck into a nearby shed to seek shelter from the storm. The storm ends up taking the roof off the shed, but Wilbur and Orville survive. It turns out that police had video cameras in place to conduct surveillance of this shed, as they believed that child pornography sales were occurring there on a regular basis. Police use this video to identify Wilbur and Orville as suspected purveyors of child porn. Over the next 3 years, police send over 500 mailings to their home address encouraging them to subscribe to a magazine depicting illicit images of children. Finally, on the 501st mailing, Wilbur subscribes. When the magazine arrives, he is arrested for possession of child porn. a. Clark v. Arizona b. Lambert v. California c. Jacobson v. United States d.
