Omnibus Crime Control And Safe Streets Act Of 1968-Grand Jury Witness Standing To Suppress Illegally Obtained Evidence, Law Review Staff
Omnibus Crime Control And Safe Streets Act Of 1968-Grand Jury Witness Standing To Suppress Illegally Obtained Evidence, Law Review Staff
Vanderbilt Law Review
Title III of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 19681 attempts to regulate the use of electronic surveillance and wiretap within fourth amendment guidelines developed by the judiciary. If evidence has been obtained in violation of the Act, the Act prohibits its introduction into judicial, legislative, and administrative proceedings. As recent courts of appeals cases indicate, however, one primary question has arisen concerning the operation of this exclusionary rule in the specific context of a grand jury proceeding: May a grand jury witness challenge the admissibility of evidence obtained in violation of the Crime Control Act?

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Espionage In Transnational Law, Leslie S. Edmondson
Espionage In Transnational Law, Leslie S. Edmondson
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Traditionally, spies have been defined as "secret agents of a State sent abroad for the purpose of obtaining clandestinely information in regard to military or political secrets." Older authorities have stated emphatically that the gravamen of espionage is the employment of disguise or false pretense. Such deception has been the justification for visiting the severest of penalties upon the captured spy. Curiously, however, the employment of spies has not been considered reprehensible conduct. The refusal to officially acknowledge the commissioning of a spy operated to relieve the government of any responsibility either to the offended state or to the secret …
