Abstract
Desde 1967, la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos ha buscado proteger la
privacidad de las llamadas telefónicas, requiriendo que el Gobierno obtenga de
un juez una orden judicial autorizando la intercepción de una llamada. Para
obtener esa orden judicial, el gobierno debía aportar las razones para creer que
el objetivo de la intercepción había iniciado o iba a iniciar una actividad delictiva.
Este artículo analiza los desarrollos de la era post 11 de septiembre –primero
con una Orden del Ejecutivo y luego con una ley del Congreso– que eliminó
este requisito y así comprometió la protección de la privacidad
Starting in 1967, the Supreme Court of the United States has sought to protect the privacy of telephone calls by requiring the Government to obtain from a judge a warrant authorizing the interception of a call. To obtain such a warrant, the Government would have to set forth the reasons for believing that the target of the interception has engaged or was about to engage in criminal activity. This article traces the developments in the post-9/11 era – first by Executive Order and then by a Congressional Statute – that abrogated this requirement and thus compromised the protection of privacy.
