Defense Claims Courthouse Was Illegally Bugged

&gt; The defense motion claims that beginning in December 2009 government agents planted microphones in three locations near the entrance of the courthouse at 401 Marshall Street in Redwood City: inside a metal sprinkler box attached to the wall, in a large planter box and in vehicles parked on the street. The hidden microphones were activated at least 31 times through September 2010, according to the filing. &gt; &gt; The only authorization came from attorneys working for the FBI and Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, the motion states.<p>In one sense, this is a small thing. There isn&#x27;t any allegation that the recordings caught privileged attorney-client communication or jury deliberations. But it <i>is</i> an attack on the integrity of the legal system, and it&#x27;s part of a pattern of attacks on the legal system that adds up to a serious threat to the rule of law.<p>Defendants are asking for these recordings to be quashed. That is what is customary, but it is not sufficient; there need to be consequences for those who did it and who authorized it. The defendants are only incentivized to argue as far as necessary for their own defense; it is up to the judges to censure the parties responsible.

It&#x27;s not perfect but I&#x27;d much prefer this plaintext than that garbage website any day: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.githubusercontent.com&#x2F;anonymous&#x2F;2a3fda72943396ac11b1&#x2F;raw&#x2F;a52e4bc82154c444bd1bdc61f01b78ca6c445976&#x2F;gistfile1.txt" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.githubusercontent.com&#x2F;anonymous&#x2F;2a3fda72943396a...</a>

&quot;According to court papers filed Friday, federal agents placed secret recording devices in at least three locations around the entrance to the San Mateo County courthouse in Redwood City without first getting judicial approval.&quot;<p>The part of not getting a warrant is really the problem.

The title doesn&#x27;t paint the full picture of what happened. The bugs were placed near the courthouse entrance at public auctions held at the courthouse. The defense &quot;maintain[s] that their clients had a reasonable expectation of privacy when they gathered to speak in hushed voices away from other auction participants.&quot;<p>Unsettling nonetheless.

Out of curiosity if I wanted to place microphones in random public places and record could I? Isn&#x27;t it legal to take someones photo in public? So could I also place a camera where I&#x27;d like and record people?

The bugs were planted to catch people colluding at public foreclosure auctions held at the courthouse steps, it had nothing to do with recording lawyers, juries, or judges.<p>I like how they start some huge investigation to to try to fix the auctions instead of just building an auction website and opening it up to the entire US public. This would probably make collusion impossible and get better prices for the property.

Does anybody know what the technical specs of the bug microphone is? Is there some equivalent piece of equipment a civilian can buy?<p>Do the recorders have their own power supply? Their own cellular connection? Are they essentially phones with giant batteries and a good external microphone?<p>As an aside, it&#x27;s always annoyed me that cell phones don&#x27;t all come with built-in call recording capabilities.

Read &quot;Enemies&quot; by Pulitzer Prize winner Tim Wiener. This is not that out of character for the FBI really.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Enemies-History-FBI-Tim-Weiner&#x2F;dp&#x2F;0812979230" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Enemies-History-FBI-Tim-Weiner&#x2F;dp&#x2F;0812...</a>

Sorry, won&#x27;t register just to view the article. I also really enjoy how the full site link takes you to a full site of ads and clickbait with zero content.

Though I&#x27;m all about civil liberties, and very wary of the surveillance state, this was public property outdoors. I mean no, there really isn&#x27;t an expectation of privacy there, and no warrant is or should be required in that situation.<p>EDIT -<p>Yeah, that&#x27;s right. Don&#x27;t respond or disagree, just vote it down. Dear (non-existent) God, echo chambers everywhere, with just different brands of stupid.
