Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Citizens Privacy Protection Act: Hearings Before the Subcommittee on the Constitution of the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, Ninety-Fifth Congress, Second Session
Today the Subcommittee on the Constitution begins a series of hear ings on legislation which has been introduced in response to the Su preme Court's recent decision in the case of Zurcher v. Stanford Daily. In that decision, the majority held that police armed with a warrant could. Forcibly and without notice, search a person's home or business for evidence of a crime even if that person is in no way suspected Of complicity in that crime.
While we would all agree that prosecutors should have access to nec essary evidence, I do not believe this is an appropriate standard for seeking evidence from innocent third parties. It would open our homes and offices to surprise searches by governmental authorities seeking evidence. Of someone else's crimes.
