Description
Defendants have been convicted on gambling and conspiracy charges based, in part, on evidence derived from electronic monitoring of two telephone lines used to transmit bets. On these appeals they question whether a pen register having the additional capacity to monitor conversations should be treated as an eavesdropping device under the Criminal Procedure Law and therefore permitted only when a Magistrate has issued a warrant based on probable cause. We hold that unless a warrant is obtained for instruments such as these, which were capable of monitoring conversations, the evidence must be suppressed. In these cases, however, the error was harmless.
