A solid book that is still timely regarding fourth amendemnt history and policy even though written almost 50 years ago. It is obviously out of date as a statement of the current state of the law. It was orginally given as two lectures but has been edited and citations added so that it functions very well as a book. The first 2/3 address fourth amendment search and seizure history, law and policy and is the better portion. He is very against electronic surveillance even with a warrant, which seems antiquated in today's world but I think he raises some valid points about whether we should be so sanguine about it. Recommended for anyone interested in fourth amendment search and seizure history and theory.
