You have to get a warrant for phone taps

- amelius 8y agoTrue, but the point was about the convenience which criminals value over anti-eavesdropping methods.
- freeopinion 8y agoNot true. You probably need a warrant to be able to submit any evidence in a trial. But that warrant can be obtained after the tap. And if the warrant never happens, you still have the information acquired from the tap which can be used for parallel constructions, etc. Phone taps today happen without the cooperation or even the knowledge of the phone company. Every telco is required to have a continuous tap on all communications. That tap must be wired to the authorities and the telco must have no ability to detect when the tap is being monitored. That's the law in the U.S.
