Is it easier or harder for the gov't to obtain a warrant to wiretap a VoIP line relative to a traditional landline?
 
Don't think they care. Judges wouldn't care in the effort to collect evidence. It would be just as easy too. Why trying to hide something? :cool:
 
At first the FBI and other agencies could not wire tap VOip because of the way it was being handled in legislation; however that has changed and any government agency who has the need to may obtain a warrant and tap your VOip phone just as easily as they do your regular phone.

yeah, that bill was in the news a few months ago, they are suppost to only use it to collect evidence for crimial cases
 
Can you say PATRIOT ACT? It sucks, but give it time and it will either grow larger or dissappear. Really it depends on if bush gets re-elected. Kerry wants to can it I believe while Bush was the one who signed it in the first place....

I actually quite like the idea of the Patriot Act... Where it fails is in its execution...

Even with the Patriot Act, law enforcement in the U.S. finds itself trying to chase criminals while hogtied with red tape of what they can and can't do, and criminals have learned to take advantage of this...
