I can&#x27;t reply to replies, so I&#x27;ll post here.<p>1. No, you don&#x27;t make someone an alleged criminal by simply accusing them of a crime. You need preliminary proofs that a) a crime is happening and b) your target is most likely the author of that crime. Judges are really demanding when analyzing this proof before authorizing a wiretap.<p>If you authorize a wiretap and you find out a crime, but later the lawyer can demonstrate that the wiretap was illegal (because the judge didn&#x27;t have enough preliminary proof), the crime discovered is considered to be discovered &quot;by chance&quot;, so it nullifies the entire result of the wiretap, based on the theory named &quot;fruits of the poisonous tree&quot;, and unless you have enough evidence that doesn&#x27;t derive at all from the wiretap, the defendant won&#x27;t be convicted.<p>2. Read the newspaper in Brazil and you&#x27;ll see the country is harshly investigating our politicians. We have a senator in jail by a supreme court&#x27;s order as we speak for god&#x27;s sake.<p>3. The same law in Brazil that authorizes wiretapping (Law nº 9296 from 1996) criminalizes with 2 to 4 years of jail anyone that does a wiretap without judicial order or with abuse of power.
