Court Upholds Wiretap Evidence in Pugach Case
The Supreme Court ruled that wiretap evidence collected by New York police with a state judge's consent could be used in the Bronx burglary trial of Burton N. Pugach. The decision cited earlier cases and left state wiretap legality under cloud, prompting Senate inquiry led by Senator Samuel J. Ervin and Senator Kenneth Keating to study proper state law and private misuse bans. The ruling noted federal limits under the Federal Communications Act, while the Justice Department has not prosecuted state officials under it.
