Wrong, and wrong. A warrant is NOT required for a phone tap. All they legally need is "just cause". Not to mention to get a specific warrant for a phone tap is nothing more than a mere phone call. They have judges specifically for these warrants. On top of that they now have "roving wire taps" which extend to all devices that the person owns (ie. Your computer, E-Mails, Cellphones, Land lines, Work Computers etc). No kind of a surveillance is illegal, because it is just surveillance. The second they go to ACT on that surveillance is when they require a warrant or it is illegal (at least not admissible in court). I find there to be far more UPSTANDING law abiding cops than crooked law breaking cops. There are crooked people in any line of work should that skew your view of everybody? No.
