Court rules warrant needed for domestic organizations wiretaps
A U S Court of Appeals held that a warrant is required before tapping telephones of a domestic organization not tied to a foreign power even when framed as national security. The ruling involved 16 Jewish Defense League members suing former Atty. Gen. Mitchell and FBI agents over wiretap actions. The decision notes JDL activities may be protected First Amendment conduct. The piece also reports federal scrutiny of police use of surveillance gear, with the National Wiretap Commission and Justice Department debates over legality and device sales to law enforcement across 19 states.
