Wire Tapping

Wire Tapping
Wire Tapping

Wiretapping is any interception of a telephone transmission by accessing the telephone signal itself.  Electronic eavesdropping is the use of an electronic transmitting or recording device to monitor conversations without the consent of the parties.

Wiretapping is the monitoring of telephone and internet conversation by a third party, often by secret means.  The federal agencies may be authorized to engage in wiretaps by the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, a court with secret proceedings, in certain circumstances.. Under the federal law and most state laws, there is nothing illegal about one of the parties to a telephone call recording the conversation, or giving permission for calls to be recorded or permitting their telephone line to be tapped.
