Best Answer

A search warrant is a different type of warrant, BUT with a specific phone tap warrant the police can listen in on your phone calls. Be aware however, that "cordless" and cell phones, operate on public radio frequencies assigned by the Federal Communications Commission. ANYONE, with the proper equipment to do so, can listen to these conversations.

No. The warrant would be presented in court. Besides, letting you know that your phone is tapped rather defeats the purpose.

No, of course not. The whole idea is that they want to intercept your communications without your knowing it.

How do police access cell phones for information?

If all the rules are followed (In the US), it first requires a wiretap warrant. If a judge will grant them such a warrant, then they can request your phone provider give them access.Many agencies have acquired other technology to track and listen into ongoing cellphone conversations and to blank out areas from cell phone reception. The claim is that such capacity is only used in cases of extreme urgency.
