The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has agreed to rehear a case regarding Oregon’s wiretapping law, after already striking down the law as unconstitutional.
The court previously concluded that the state’s wiretapping law, Section 165.540(1)(c) of the Oregon Revised Statutes, which bars secretly taping in-person conversations in public spaces, was unconstitutional. The decision revived a lawsuit from Project Veritas, an undercover media organization that claimed in a 2020 complaint that the law was unconstitutional.
