Don't take this a gospel, but my understanding is currently, only Homeland Security can do that in exigent circumstances, and must be able to justify it .I'm putting this in Law & Legal Issues so the people that DO know for sure , will be more likely to see your Q.

Added: The simple answer to the question as asked is NO. No Georgia law enforcement agency may bug or tap phones without a warrant.

As mentioned in the above answer - under the Homeland Security Act, FEDERAL agencies (the FBI) can - in clear-cut instances of national security (not simply CRIMINAL activity) - operate non-warrant communications monitoring.

Keep in mind that all cell phones and wireless/cordless phones are nothing but miniature radio transmitters/receivers. ANYBODY with the proper radio equipment can listen in on your converstions if they really have that much of an interest in it.
