ACLU Study Questions Wiretap Costs and Impact
ACLU researcher Herman Schwartz argues that official electronic surveillance is costly and largely ineffective. He cites 1970 figures of 597 court orders overhearing 381 865 conversations affecting 25 652 people, and 1961 figures of 302 orders for 173 711 conversations involving 31 436 people. He notes possible overlaps but says convictions are few and social costs high while civil liberties are invaded. He questions official cost estimates and calls for rebalancing law enforcement with social services.
