Lawful interception is not for "three letter agencies", but for the police (TLAs have their own totally different ways to get this data, in the US they even have their own courts for this). So these are generally documented, judicial processes.

Although the US have of course intentionally muddled this with FISC and at times outright disregard for that simple principle.
