FEDERAL WIRETAPPING AND STANDING

Even though the trial court erred in ruling that the Defendant did not have standing to complain of a violation of wiretap laws in the monitoring of her boyfriend's phone, which she also used, Defendant was not entitled to suppression because "Ms. Ahamad never sought a hearing based on the claim federal law enforcement authorities utilized the drug trafficking warrant as a stratagem to discover evidence relating to the shooting of Mr. Larrainzar.

Nor did Ms. Ahamad challenge the federal court disclosure orders which resulted in the Los Angeles homicide detectives learning of the ongoing federally authorized electronic surveillance."
