Suffolk County Private Investigator, Nassau County Private Investigator, New York City - Wire Taps

There have been many inquiries regarding "phone taps." It is illegal to tap (eavesdrop) a phone unless by law enforcement and court approved! It is ONLY legal to tap a phone when an eavesdropping warrant is issued by the court, for that particular device or line. There is an incredible burden of proof needed to obtain a warrant for this. There is also the "exhaustion" rule. You must have exhausted all other means (and you must prove that to the court) of investigation as well as proving the phone, fax machine etc., is being used to commit crimes.
