Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 (1967) is a United States Supreme Court case discussing the nature of the right to privacy and the legal definition of a search. The Court's ruling adjusted previous interpretations of the unreasonable search and seizure clause of the Fourth Amendment to count immaterial intrusion with technology as a search, overruling Olmstead v. United States and Goldman v. United States. Katz also extended Fourth Amendment protection to all areas where a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy. Charles Katz used a public pay phone booth to transmit illegal gambling wagers from Los Angeles to Miami and Boston. Unbeknownst to Katz, the FBI was recording his conversations via an electronic eavesdropping device attached to the exterior of the phone booth. Katz was convicted based on these recordings.
