How does the CCP regulate "wiretapping" and surveillance?

The Code of Criminal Procedure (CCP) requires law enforcement to obtain a court order before conducting wiretaps or surveillance, which serves to protect individuals' privacy rights while balancing law enforcement's need to investigate criminal activity. This judicial oversight ensures that wiretapping is justified, based on probable cause, and is not conducted arbitrarily or without sufficient legal reason. The requirement for a court order also adds an additional layer of accountability, as law enforcement must present evidence and gain judicial approval before infringing upon a person's expectation of privacy.

In contrast, the other options imply a more lenient or restrictive approach to wiretapping and surveillance. Unrestricted wiretapping would violate constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. Encouraging unlimited surveillance undermines civil liberties and could lead to abuses of power. Limiting regulations solely to telecommunications companies ignores the broader implications of surveillance technology and fails to encompass other potential venues for privacy invasion.
