Supreme Court limits eavesdropping in privacy ruling
The Supreme Court, in a 7-1 decision, rules that electronic surveillance of private telephone conversations violates the 4th Amendment unless officials act in a narrowly supervised, judicially approved manner. The ruling overturns Charles Katz’s conviction and clarifies privacy protections and the person centered reach of the amendment. Additionally the court holds that striking workers gain stronger reemployment priority after a strike ends, affecting hiring from new applicants.
