June 4, 1928  This week marks the anniversary of the landmark Olmstead v. United States wiretapping case, one of the first key cases in which the Supreme Court attempted to interpret the scope of the Fourth Amendment. Roy Olmstead was a lieutenant on the Seattle police force and also the most successful bootlegger in the Pacific Northwest during Prohibition. A federal investigation team listened to his business calls using a wiretapping system outside of his offices. After his conviction, Olmstead’s appeal made it to the Supreme Court on the grounds that the wiretapping act was a violation of his Fourth Amendment rights to be free from unreasonable search and seizure. Head over to Constitution Daily to learn how the justices ruled.
