Record 5 2005-09-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Security Devices
  • Telecommunications Transmission
  • Police
CONT

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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Dispositifs de sécurité
  • Transmission (Télécommunications)
  • Police
OBS

Ces mandats permettent à la police d'obtenir un mandat visant un suspect particulier, plutôt qu'à l'égard d'un téléphone ou d'un dispositif de communication.
