No they don&#x27;t. Your argument doesn&#x27;t make any logical sense.<p>Wiretapping is needed during the investigation phase, which you need to gather evidence BEFORE trialling and convicting anyone. And is only authorized if you have strong evidence that a crime or criminal organization is in place.<p>If only convicted criminals didn&#x27;t have right to privacy, how would you get them convicted in the first place ?<p>Also, you really got it 100% backwards. Convicted criminals have right to privacy after they are convicted, because we don&#x27;t assume they will commit new crimes.<p>Everybody is presumed innocent until proven otherwise. We must have new evidence that convicted criminals are commiting crimes to start a new wiretap.
