The Supreme Court's restriction of wiretapping as a violation of the Fourth Amendment primarily stems from the 1967 case Katz v. United States. In this decision, the Court ruled that wiretapping constituted a search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment, requiring a warrant based on probable cause. The ruling emphasized the protection of individuals' privacy rights and established the "reasonable expectation of privacy" test, determining that government surveillance must respect this expectation to comply with constitutional standards.
