ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE, THE MAFIA, AND INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM* Benjamin M. Shieber** I. INTRODUCTION The United States Constitution affects the ability of federal, state and local governments to combat criminal activity. Since the relevant constitutional provisions are in the form of broadly stated legal commands,' the constitutionality of specific law enforcement practices can only be determined when the courts, ultimately the Supreme Court of the United States, interpret these commands in cases in which they are challenged. As has long been recognized, the judicial role in the interpretation process is a creative one, for when conflicting policies compete for ac- ceptance, a court's interpretation will further one policy at the expense of another.' The court's policy preference can only be rational and respon- sible when it is based on "considerations of what is expedient for the community concerned."'3 This requires the court to know the communi- ty, determine how implementation of each competing policy would af- fect it, and choose the policy of greatest utility for that community.' Cases involving electronic surveillance' by law enforcement agen- * Copyright 1982, Benjamin M.

  • Dexter Babin, II History 505 Winter 2018-2019
    Dexter Babin, II History 505 Winter 2018-2019 The FBI’s Unsuccessful Investigations into the New Orleans Mafia, 1977-1989 At a time when the FBI was eliminating entire chains of command in East Coast Mafia families with numerous investigations, eventually culminating with sentencing the bosses of the infamous “Five Families” to 100 years each in prison, a structural RICO indictment of the New Orleans Mafia was never successful until after New Orleans Mafia boss Carlos Marcello’s death.1 Though the FBI’s 1981 BRILAB insurance kickback sting would send Marcello to prison, his conviction would later be thrown out by an appellate court in 1989; freeing Marcello after serving only 8 years of his 17 year sentence, which also included bribing a California federal judge in an unrelated matter.2 This would leave the FBI’s BRILAB sting the only successful FBI operation in a handful that targeted Marcello during the 70s and 80s. This paper will propose that the FBI’s lack of success when it came to Marcello at this time as threefold: a general lack of structural identity of the New Orleans Mafia, Marcello’s political connections, and the way Marcello handled his finances all shielded him from a major indictment. These three factors will be examined through three unsuccessful FBI investigations against Marcello, which occurred later in his criminal career: the abortive 1975 UNIRAC (Union Racketeering) 1 Selwyn Raab, Five Families: The Rise, Decline, and Resurgence of Americas Most Powerful Mafia Empires [New York: Thomas Dunne Books, 2005], 329-331. 2 Steve Cannizaro, “81 BRILAB Convictions Overturned.” The Times Picayune, June 23, 1989.

Scotto: Progression of A Waterfront Corruption Prosecution From Investigation Through Appeal* I. Introduction Anthony M. Scotto, a man whom Governor Hugh Carey de- scribed as "trustworthy, energetic, intelligent, effective and edu- cated,"' was convicted in federal district court on November 15, 1979, on charges of racketeering, accepting unlawful labor payments, and income tax evasion. Both Scotto and his co-defendant, Anthony Anastasio, were ranking union officials in the International Long- shoremen's Association (I.L.A.), the powerful union representing American stevedores. Scotto and Anastasio specifically represented the Brooklyn longshoremen in New York. This note uses United States v. Scotto to examine the progression and ramifications of a complex waterfront corruption case. In partic- ular, the note examines the development of the Scotto case from inves- tigation through appeal, and the practical effect which the prosecution and conviction has had on waterfront corruption.
