147. Wiretapping is not the same as phone call records.

Wiretap Definition


1.A concealed listening or recording device connected to a communications circuit.
2.The act of installing such a device.

1.To connect a concealed listening or recording device to.
2.To monitor (a telephone line) by means of such a device.
3.To install a concealed listening or recording device or use it to monitor communications

A wiretap requires a warrant whether ordered a judge on a local, state or federal level.

Phone call records are also collected on these levels but what most people do not understand is the phone call records are owned by the provider so the warrant goes to the provider not the user.

The FISA act occurred around 1979 or1980 and was implemented to prevent the president from requesting the wiretapping in which Nixon was doing in which at the time he could do legally. Legally from the Constitution a warrant could be issued to search.

In 2008 another provision was enacted to halt the warrantless wiretapping Bush was doing in which he thought he had the right to do so under his "war powers". Again, a lot are up in the air about the warrantless wiretapping which occurred under Bush, It is legal to wiretap under the Constitution with a warrant, I don't think this will change unless the Constitution changes.
