People v. Kramer

In People v. Kramer (92 NY2d 529 [1998]), an examination of all these interlocking statutes concluded (at 539) "that the Legislature intended to provide a statutory basis for pen register standing, proportionate and appropriate to that already in place by enactment covering eavesdropping standing--though not necessarily equivalent." This conclusion is consistent with what the Court of Appeals has described as "reflective of this State's strong public policy of protecting citizens against the insidiousness of electronic surveillance by both governmental agents and private individuals" (People v. Kramer, supra at 538-539.)
