People v. Fata
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION OF THE COURT
Kunzeman, J. P.
This appeal raises the question of whether cordless telephone conversations, which are partially broadcasted over ordinary radio waves, are nevertheless protected from warrantless interception by law enforcement officials. Although we conclude that the intentional interception of such conversations is prohibited by the State eavesdropping statute (see, Penal Law §§ 250.00, 250.05), our resolution of this issue does not require suppression of the evidence obtained against the defendant in this case. Accordingly, we affirm the judgments of conviction.
