Eavesdropping legalized by legislature
If you are suspected of having information relating to certain crimes, you could find a law enforcement officer listening to you under authority of a law which becomes effective in Kansas July 1.
The 1970 legislature passed a 78-page code of criminal procedures, and one of these procedures legalized eavesdropping.
or more correctly wire tapping, under certain conditions.
If a law enforcement agency, either state or local, believes you have certain information pertaining to a certain crime, they may eavesdrop on your home or your office, or your telephone or telegraph line.
The attorney general of Kansas, an assistant attorney general
or any one of the 105 county attorneys in the state could apply for an eavesdropping order. The application can be made when the official believes the information to be obtained may provide evidence of the commission of any one of more than a dozen offenses.
The eavesdropping order can be issued by any justice of the Kansas Supreme Court or by one
of the 61 district judges in the state.
To receive an eavesdropping order, the official applying for it must make an application in writing and under oath. The official considering the application is required to examine the applicant under oath and satisfy himself that there are reasonable grounds and probable cause and that there are no other means for obtaining the evidence. The evidence must be deemed essential to the solution or prevention of a crime.
