Governments are in the unique position of deciding what's legal and what's not, so if the government says it's not illegal then it's not illegal, and if they decide "whoops, guess it is illegal" then all they need to do is change the law so that it's legal again.
The practical answer is "probably not." You might be able to argue that it was unconstitutional, but the government is pretty good about getting warrants first, which makes everything nice and legal. They're not required to tell you that they're doing it; they just have to prove to a court that there's "probable cause".
no
Yes
when police are investigating and have a warrent
There are two types of wiretaps legal and illegal. An illegal wire tap can be done at any time by anyone in violation of several laws. A legal wiretap can be done once a court authorizes the wiretap to be performed by or at the request of law enforcement. The exception to this may be secret wiretaps placed by intelligence agencies to thwart terrorism.
NO! WIRETAPPING IN PUERTO RICO IS A VIOLATION OF LAW. The Puerto rican constitution clearly says " wire tapping is prohibited." Any wiretapping is illegal and any information acquired by a wire tap is not permitted and non admissable is a court of law!
No

Tapping the wire against the tube can disrupt any debris or material buildup on the wire, helping to clean it and potentially improve conductivity. It can also help dislodge any trapped air bubbles, enhancing the flow of liquid or gas through the tube.
go dtraight to the police, or the FBI.
yes probably. spies tap into phone lines but i think that is different
There isn't one. That is, there's no specific law against "tapping electricity". It would probably be considered a form of theft, and have whatever fine is associated with that in your area (you'd probably also be sued in civil court by the electric company).
Phone tapping may be good if done for the right reasons. The government may tap phone calls in order to prevent security threats from being carried out.
