Supreme Court limits privacy in bank records and IRS access
The Supreme Court ruled 7 to 2 that privacy does not extend to microfilmed bank records when demanded by the IRS, upholding access without strict warrants. The decision also limits Miranda warnings for IRS custody and allows production of accountant work papers, with concurring opinions highlighting privacy and privilege nuances. Justice Powell authored the bank ruling with Brennan and Marshall dissenting. Burger, White, and others wrote the remaining opinions.
