Supreme Court: Police May Search Newspaper Office Without Subpoena
The Supreme Court ruled 5-3 that police are not legally bound to first subpoena evidence before searching a newspaper office. The decision overturns lower court rulings that favored extra protection for press offices and emphasizes that probable cause to seize specific items, not the owner’s crime status, governs searches. Justice White led the opinion with Justices Stewart Marshall dissenting.
