The abuses reported included illegal wiretapping, widespread informer networks, interception of mail, and warrantless searches of homes. Privacy on the Line.

Primer for Human Rights Groups on Wiretapping Remote Observation System North America USA: What Is The Electronic Communications Privacy Act ("ECPA") The ECPA began as the "anti-wiretapping" act, enacted to combat the eavesdropping excesses of the Watergate scandal in the late '60s. Originally, the federal statute targeted government eavesdropping on telephone discussions without consenting those involved in the conversation. The act required government agents to procure a judicial warrant before they could intercept discussions. In late 1986, Congress increased the coverage of the anti-wiretapping laws to follow the broadening range of electronic communication, resulting in the ECPA.
