Not so sure about that - it would depend on what they planned to do with it. Stalking a wife/daughter, for example. Or monitoring a home for breakin.

If they kept records and sold such records then they would essentially be performing as an unlicensed private detective or worse.

Plus, I disagree with your basic premise. Though the internet and electronic data collection didn't exist at the time, I doubt the founding fathers would have said "applies except where profit motive is involved". A right to privacy was clearly envisioned.
