Because wiretaps are used mainly by federal law enforcement agencies and then only as a last resort, any case that required a wiretap to acquire evidence is very serious. And because wiretap cases also fall under federal jurisdiction, penalties are substantially more severe.
If you’ve been accused of a crime that required wiretapping, you need Erlinda Ocampo Johnson, an experienced Albuquerque federal criminal defense lawyer, to defend you.
Wiretapping and Related Consequences
Wiretapping is the seizing or overhearing of communication by means of a concealed recording or listening device connected to a transmission line (such as a telephone line). Cases that use wiretapping include:
- Federal drug cases
- White collar crimes
- Distribution and trafficking
- Drug Manufacturing
- National security cases
Wiretaps should only be used as a last resort when every other investigative method has failed.
