Wiretapping and bugging are subject to the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. Generally, law enforcement must obtain a warrant based on probable cause to conduct such surveillance legally. However, certain exceptions exist, such as in cases of national security or when one party consents to the conversation being recorded. Ultimately, the permissibility of these actions often hinges on the specifics of the situation and applicable laws.
The Supreme Court's restriction of wiretapping as a violation of the Fourth Amendment primarily stems from the 1967 case Katz v. United States. In this decision, the Court ruled that wiretapping constituted a search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment, requiring a warrant based on probable cause. The ruling emphasized the protection of individuals' privacy rights and established the "reasonable expectation of privacy" test, determining that government surveillance must respect this expectation to comply with constitutional standards.
The Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution, also the First Amendment and possibly the 5th Amendment. HOWEVER - - ONLY if they failed to obtain a wiretap warrant.

The Fourth Amendment
The Supreme Court held that the Fourth Amendment did not apply to wiretaps in the 1928 case Olmstead v. United States, reasoning that the amendment protects against physical intrusions and searches of tangible property, rather than the interception of communications. The Court concluded that since wiretapping did not involve a physical entry into a home or property, it did not constitute an unreasonable search or seizure. This decision was later revisited and refined in subsequent cases, reflecting evolving interpretations of privacy rights.
