Wiretaps and Listening Systems

Wiretaps and Listening Systems are surveillance tools used to intercept and monitor communications, such as phone calls, emails, or other electronic transmissions. Wiretaps involve legally or illegally accessing private conversations through telephone lines or digital networks, often for intelligence gathering or criminal investigations. Listening systems can include specialized devices like bugs or microphones that capture audio from specific locations, allowing remote monitoring of conversations. While these tools are often used by law enforcement and intelligence agencies for security or criminal purposes, their use can raise significant concerns about privacy and civil liberties, leading to strict regulations and oversight in many jurisdictions.
