## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- finding that, because Section 5717(a) only allows disclosure to investigative and law enforcement officers as defined in Section 5702 of the Act, it prohibits distribution to taxing authorities
- holding the Commonwealth Court improperly barred a plaintiff's suit under the "good-faith defense" of the Wiretapping Act, 12 because police unlawfully disclosed incepted data to taxing agencies without an authorizing court order
- finding that good faith exception in Section 5725(c) of Wiretap Act was unavailable to state trooper, Commonwealth, or Commissioner of State Police in Section 5725(a) action
