police tapping mobile phones...
a guy i knows phone was taken from him by the police, when a house he was in was raided for drugs.
he had nothing to do with the drugs, had none on him, was not under the influence and didnt live there, and was not arrested or anything.
the police still took his phone, for many months...they have now said he can have it back, but my mate reckons they must have put a tap on it, to trace all his calls and texts etc
i cant see why theyd bother monitioring him if he was not even involved (the people at the house were arrested and are now in prison)
could the police do this? would they? seems like paranoia to me but...is it...?
he doesnt want the phone back now, because he doesnt like the idea of being tapped...but who would even bother trailing through all his texts etc?
surely this is illegal too?
i am asking because he has said i can have the phone if i want as its agood one...but i cant say i like the idea of being bugged either...haha
cheers

The reality is that the police probably don't 'tap' phones themselves but get info from the spy centre that is at the heart of the 'listening' service. They would not be bothered with the rubbish most people say on phones.
It similar to cctv cameras that they have and only view it when something 'happens'.
I costs far too much to monitor mass telephone calls.

tahts what i thought...imagone the man power itd take...and i reckon most would use code words anyway
he says he has nothing to hide really eother regards the phone - he smokes weed but hes not a dealer or anything so i cant see them being interested in him...unless they think they will get dealers numbers...but then they will laready have those from the address book...
oh well at least i get a free phone eh haha
