Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Supreme Court overruled Olmstead v. United States in Katz v. United States, where it held that government eavesdropping by wiretapping constituted a search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment, thereby requiring a warrant. This landmark decision expanded the scope of privacy protection under the Constitution, and overturned the outdated interpretation of Olmstead, which had held that the Fourth Amendment did not cover electronic communications. Terry v. Ohio, Payton v. United States, and Hoffa v. United States are significant cases in their own right, but they did not directly address the issue of privacy and wiretapping at the heart of the Olmstead/Katz dispute.
