Description
BOOCHEVER, Chief Justice. OPINION. This matter is before us on the State of Alaska's petition for review. 1 The issue presented is nearly identical to the one decided by this court in State v. Glass, P.2d , Opn. No. 1724 (Alaska, September 15, 1978). In the case at bar the superior court entered an order suppressing evidence consisting of tape recordings of conversations between respondent Michael Thornton and Phillip Herian, a police informant. Those conversations related to various sales of cocaine allegedly made by Thornton. All such conversations were recorded by Herian or with Herian's consent, but without the prior knowledge of Thornton. Some of the conversations occurred on the telephone. Others took place in Herian's home. The recordings were made without benefit of a search warrant or other order of the court.
