What is telephone taps?

Telephone taps refer to the use of surveillance equipment to eavesdrop on telephone conversations. This can be done by attaching a listening device to a phone line or using software to intercept and record phone calls. Telephone taps are typically used by law enforcement agencies, government intelligence organizations, or by private detectives for investigative purposes. They can also be used by individuals to spy on others, which is illegal. Countries have laws regulating the use of telephone taps, and in some cases, a warrant or court order may be required before they can be used. The legality and ethics of using telephone taps are often debated due to concerns about invasion of privacy and the potential misuse of such technology.
