Wiretapping Isn't Easy
Folks love to talk conspiracies about FBI wiretaps. In reality, wiretapping is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and not worth the stress. The thought of the FBI listening into your every phone call can seem to make sense, but in reality, they won't listen in on any Joe Shmo.
The process is super tedious. First, the FBI agent needs to get a judge's approval to even begin the wiretapping process. After about a month of court dates and waiting, the paperwork begins. After all of that, then you have to actually do the wiretap. It's just not worth it!
