But the New Deal and the growth of the federal regulatory state made it clear that officials needed
broad powers to check business records. The tax laws could not be enforced, for example, if agents
were not able to obtain financial records.
By 1940, the courts had made it easier for agencies to gain access to information. Since they were
enforcing the law, not prosecuting criminals, courts lowered the standards set by the 4th Amendment.
Oh, the notion of administrative subpoenas were adopted in 1940, by FDR and his court-packing judges. That was a precedent, and o.k. with you, yes? Simply for enforcing the law, not prosecuting criminals? Hmm. How was the law enforced? Can you say, "law enforcement officer"? Duh.
