Roving wiretaps allow a wiretap order to be specific to a person, regardless of which telephone he is using, rather than specific to a particular telephone. ... In the 21st century, many people have more than one telephone including a cellular telephone. Sophisticated targets change their cellular telephones frequently in an effort to thwart investigators. The roving wiretap order still requires that a federal law enforcement agent swear in a detailed affidavit to facts establishing probable cause, and still requires a court to make a finding of probable cause before issuing the order.
