Providing Notice of Electronic Surveillance18
U.S.C.
§ 2232(c)
|
The 1986 Act amended 18 U.S.C. § 2232 to criminalize the
disclosure
of an authorization or an application for electronic surveillance under
Title III
or FISA. The new provision, added as subsection (c) to 18 U.S.C. §
2232,
provides a five year penalty and a fine under Title 18 for warning or
attempting
to warn the subject of an electronic surveillance application "in order to
obstruct, impede or prevent such interception." The Supreme Court has
recently
provided guidance in construing this subsection. United States v.
Aguilar, 115 S. Ct. 2357, 2363-65 (1995).
