Don't be a dip.Yes its legal. years ago they needed a warrant. But since Bush got into office a warrant is no longer needed. They can ease drop when ever they like. This was changed in a effort to prevent "terrorism"
google the easedropping law.NO I am not. All I'm saying is that they can do that now since Bush pass the new easedropping law.
I wouldn't get too pushy. You realize that exactly 6 hours passed between your question and your insistence in getting a reply, right? Hint: most people are not awake in the middle of the night.can I get a reply
Not true at all.NO I am not. All I'm saying is that they can do that now since Bush pass the new easedropping law.
Do they need a warrant/court orderNot true at all.
The police still need a warrant. Homeland Security might not need a warrant from an open court, or if the call is going overseas, but in most every case conceivable the police WILL need one.

Its called the "USA PATRIOT Act" enacted by Mr George Bush himselfgoogle the easedropping law.
Idiot.
not neccessarily true. There are still rules and limitations to what they can listen in on.Police yes.. Feds NO
so who is the one party that is giving consent? (hint, there are typically two parties and they are the ones involved in the conversation)Well here go the law that says they can..

Both federal and California law enforcement officials may eavesdrop on and record telephone conversations without a court order under the so-called "one party consent provision" (18 USC 2511(2)(s); California Penal Code 633). In other words, if state or federal authorities have the consent of one party to a conversation (such as a government informant), the conversation may be monitored. This provision applies only to eavesdropping by law enforcement officials
No, you were saying they could do it legally based upon the laws you referrenced.I'm just saying they can and will. Now you may never knowthey did but if they want to tap you they can legally if they suspect " Terrisiom" How far the Feds take this who knows.
And if they want to easedrop they can whether if its legal or not and if they do it illegally I am pretty sure you will never know they easedropped
Can someone please tell this idiot the term is "eavesdropping", not "easedropping" (sounds like someone plunked down on a Lazyboy).
