An Analysis Of Terry V. Ohio And Its Implications Upon The California Law Of Stop And Frisk, Judith N. Keep

Michigan Law Review

This Article will examine some constitutional considerations raised by wiretapping and eavesdropping in light of recent Supreme Court decisions, the probable extent of such activity, the limitations imposed upon it by title III and the ABA Standards, and the arguments for the "necessity" of electronic surveillance.
