Is there a device, or any other means to detect a tapped phone line? Would asking the local phone co. do any good? Or for that matter,ask the local government if/why they're listening in?
I have a friend that I've been talking to often lately on the phone. Both of us using the good old fashioned "land-lines".
Yesterday, I was both surprised and dismayed when she told me that HER phone line is probably being monitered and to be careful what I talk about.
Since I'm not a criminal, I'm not worried if a lawman "listens in". So I'm asking this question in the name of civil rights and right to privacy.
My friend however, says she lives in an area where the lawmen ARE needed and hears her phone "click" a lot when she's using it. I have no reason to think she's a criminal. Her two sons (19 and 22) are no angels, but nothing even close to a felony or similar. Plus neither one even lives at home anymore, so they don't justify a phone being tapped.
