The government's use of wiretap evidence based on phone conversations between persons suspected of ongoing criminal activity goes back almost a century. The legal principle supporting a right of privacy in phone conversations absent a warrant issued on sufficient evidence dates to the 1920s. Since that time, the technology for monitoring telephone calls has changed. This includes determining which numbers are called from a given number or eavesdropping on conversations. But the basic rule remains the same: the government cannot listen in and record your telephone conversations without a court's permission in the form of a warrant.
At the Law Offices of David Elden, we make a careful analysis of the evidence against you and its sources. We not only review the transcripts or actual recordings of the conversation, we also look at the legal sufficiency and the factual accuracy of the allegations presented to the judge in the application for the wiretap warrant. It is by no means unusual for wiretap evidence to be gathered on the basis of a defective warrant, and our challenge to the issuance of the warrant can result in the suppression of the evidence. What this means is that the jury will not be able to hear recordings or read transcripts of the conversations that the government needs to prove its case against you.
