Bill Summary

For legislation relative to wiretapping for drug trafficking offenses. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to amend the existing law on wiretapping in Massachusetts to include drug trafficking offenses as a "designated offense" that would allow law enforcement to utilize wiretapping as an investigative tool. The bill notes that the sale and distribution of harmful drugs, even without organized crime involvement, poses a serious and continuing threat to public health and safety, and that law enforcement needs to have access to all available tools to address this threat effectively.
