Warrantless surveillance evidence to be used in US terrorist case — RT USA

Warrantless surveillance evidence to be used in US terrorist case — RT USA:

 In an unprecedented move for the US legal system, the federal government has notified a suspect in a terrorist case that it is going to use information intercepted through warrantless surveillance as evidence against him.


In a court filing, the US Justice Department informed the legal team of terrorist suspect Jamshid Muhtorov of its plans to use communications obtained without a warrant as evidence against him.


In the filing, the government plans to use as evidence "information obtained or derived from acquisition of foreign intelligence information conducted pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978".
