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.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of hearings before the Senate Subcommittee on the Constitution held in 1978 to discuss two bills, S.3162 and S.3164. These bills were introduced in response to the Supreme Court's decision in Zurcher v Stanford Daily, which held that police could search the premises of a person not suspected of a crime if they had a warrant. The author argues that this decision eroded the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures and proposed legislation to restore those protections. The book explores the complex legal and constitutional issues raised by this case, including the balance between the government's need to investigate crimes and the individual's right to privacy. The author also discusses the potential impact of the decision on freedom of the press, as it could allow the government to search newsrooms without a suspect being investigated for a crime. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the First and Fourth Amendments and provides an in-depth look at the legal and constitutional issues raised by the Zurcher v Stanford Daily decision.
