I've had NSO like activity on my phone, I've had hacking on my phone since the 90's. So what I have learnt with the law is, firstly it generally needs evidence although there are some rare situations where accusations are enough. Even when you have evidence, this can still generally be removed or the police prevented from seeing it. Another problem with phones is you cant control when they drop from 3G or 4G back to 2G which then makes it easy to capture the conversation from the air and do a replay attack. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/06/your-phone-vulnerable-because-2g-it-doesnt-have-be https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/06/your-phone-vulnerable-... External influences, control when your phone drops down to 2G and I have not seen any phone manufacturer put in an option to terminate calls and prevent calls being made on 2G. Things like the PinePhone and Librem are missing a trick. The other problem with technology is the sheer number of options or inability to access and modify in order to make secure. Whether we like it or not, our lives are in the hands of others. I gave up a long time ago when I realised how many legal ways there are to kill people. Its quite clever really but some institutions have had hundreds of years to perfect their dark arts.
