KATZ V. UNITED STATES!!!
Aight. Let’s get some background stuff. Back in the day, it was made legal to use wiretapping while investigating bad guys by the case, Olmstead v. United States . But wait! They made it so you couldn’t tap phones, but you can bug people and fun stuff like that. But wait again!
Still waiting… Congress laid down the law and said you couldn’t interrupt unauthorized and use the evidence in court. Cheez itz. Good thing people are sneaky little devils. Slightly resembling Michael Hamer. -
Sweet deal yo. • Supreme Court ruled that eavesdropping was delicious as long as they didn’t bust our 4th amendment. That’s search and seizure for you goof balls. Slightly resembling Marky Willard - Slightly resembling Marky Willard - Slightly resembling Marky Willard -
New technology is bonkerz. Is it affecting our 4th amendment Ceegan? Let’s find out dawg! Slightly resembling Ceegmastaflex -
Charlie Katz • Height – 5’11” • Weight – 198 lbs • Eye Color – blue • Hobbies - gambler • Pet’s Names – Snuggles and Foofoo Bear
Ya feel me? • Charles is a gambler from LA. The FBI saw this creepy little man talk on a public phone, which they thought, “I bet he’s talking about gambling and such.” What’d they do? They bugged the phone without a warrant. Wait…isn’t that illegal?
Hi. • The FBI recorded Charlie’s little chats and used them against him in the COURT OF LAW because these recordings included Charles wagering cash flow, which is illegal my good friends. Slightly resembling a sad Charlie -
What’d Charlie do you ask? Charlie won’t stand for it folks. He appealed and the lawyers said they played around with his 4th amendment. To Supreme Court we go!!! Slightly resembling Marky Willard - Slightly resembling Marky Willard -
Search and Seizure Hamslice. • Let’s think. Does the 4th amendment protect us only from our homes, or does it protect us in public? Should they be allowed to bug public phones? Slightly resembling a ham -
Charlie. What a good guy. All he did was use a public phone and have a chat. Whatever he says is his business. The FBI had no warrant, therefore no right to record him. He should be a free man. Slightly resembling a happy Charlie -
United States. The US. What a great country. All they did was record a conversation, held on a PUBLIC phone. Charlie didn’t try to make it private. His property wasn’t searched or seized. The FBI did nothing wrong. What a great team.
Yo. The decision was clear. A 7-1 decision if you’d like to know. The Supreme Court overturned Olmstead v. United States and Charlie Katz’s case also. They say the 4th amendment provides privacy for PEOPLE, not just places. If the FBI had a warrant, it would be have been delicious. Slightly resembling Marky Willard -
Me? I’m agree with my boy Charlie. His rights were violated. Of course Charlie is going to fight the first ruling. The FBI is full of goofballs if they didn’t think they needed a warrant. What a bunch of tuna. Slightly resembling a bunch of tuna -
