Supreme Court tightens restrictions on searches
The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision by Justice Potter Stewart, curbed police wiretap power and reversed the murder conviction of Edward H. Coolidge Sr. The ruling underscored that searches without prior judicial approval are unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment, except for narrowly defined exceptions, challenging government wiretap tactics amid national security concerns. Justice Burger and Justices Black and White dissented, arguing broader allowances for investigative methods. The decision signals a shift in balancing law enforcement interests against individual rights.

They warn sanctions could hit 19 percent of Missouri’s Federal Highway construction funds and all Highway Safety Act authorizations, arguing the bill offers special privileges to truck drivers and undermines public safety.
