What about telephone calls and their content?



Telephone is currently private conversation. Need a warrant to get in (tap).

This is from just a quick unrefined search:

Why should telephone calls be exempt? What is they are talking about child porn?


In USA it's because courts and laws sorta think it should be.

If you're a suspect they get a warrant to search (tap) and seize; which is a 4th amendment thing in USA.
