What additional requirements (beyond the usual Fourth Amendment requirements) must be met for authorities to conduct electronic surveillance?
What will be an ideal response?
In 1968, Congress passed Title III of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act (18 U.S.C. §§2510–20). Then, in 1986, Congress amended the act by passing the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) (Pub. L. No. 99–508 [1986]). Both acts govern
law enforcement electronic surveillance activities at both the federal and state levels. They are of particular importance because they preempt state laws addressing electronic surveillance. That is, for electronic surveillance to conform to constitutional requirements, it must not only abide by state law but also by the 1968 and 1986 acts.
