“The FBI violated the Fourth Amendment by recording more than 200 hours of conversation at the entrance to a county courthouse in the Bay Area, a federal judge has ruled. Federal agents planted the concealed microphones around the San Mateo County Courthouse in 2009 and 2010 as part of an investigation into alleged bid-rigging at public auctions for foreclosed homes. The FBI recorded private conversations between members of the general public, including ‘two women discussing details of their personal lives that ranged from the private to the salacious.’ The ruling runs counter to a ruling by another judge in the same district, also reported by The Recorder.”
