LA State Police Undecided whether to proceed with Wiretap allegations

Louisiana State Police have made no decision re: New Orleans Saints wiring case - New Orleans Saints Football NFL News - NOLA.com
Louisiana State Police investigators have not yet reached a conclusion about whether the allegation New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis rewired his Superdome box warrant a criminal probe, according to the agency.

Last month, after ESPN reported Loomis reconfigured a headset in his box in order to listen to opposing coaches before Hurricane Katrina, the FBI and the State Police launched a joint investigation to determine if any state or federal wiretapping laws were broken. Loomis and the Saints have vehemently dismissed the report as rubbish, and both Superdome officials and electrical engineers have expressed skepticism such a rewiring ever occured or that it would have gone undetected for the three seasons ESPN said Loomis had access to it.

In addition, the statute of limitations on wiretapping laws generally run between five or six years, which means even if the report were true no prosecution would be feasible, although some lawyers said that conspiracy elements to a crime can extend the statute of limitations. The NFL said it would not be involved in the matter while it is under investigation by federal and state law enforcement officials.

I'm no one.
