it's less that people shouldn't expect privacy behind a fence...

and more that people should expect privacy despite the lack of fence. If you make the distinction that someone with a fence can't have their home invaded by the police, but if they magically didn't have a fence it would be okay, how is that right? A driveway is RIGHT BY a person's home and sleeping quarters. Would the courts also rule against someone who thought someone was trying to rob the and assaulted the individual...only to find out it was an officer?
A driveway is private or it is not. Even if you have to cross a fence to get TO the driveway, there is not typically a fence between the house and the drive. Once you're to the drive, the "privacy" is typically the same.

Or you could go the other way, and say it's legal for them to put a GPS tracker on your house.
