Three ways that I can think of: 1. With a court order or warrant. This happens when law enforcement wants to record the conversations of subjects of an investigation. 2. When one of the parties gives permission, as when one of the parties is a police officer or a crime victim. 3. When the conversation is public, as when a boom mike is used to pick up the conversation between the pitching coach and the pitcher and is then broadcast or when the subjects of a criminal investigation use a cell phone or walkie talkie to communicate and the conversation can be picked up easily. If there is no reasonable expectation of privacy, the conversation may be recorded

Anytime the FBI feels the need as per the USA PATRIOT Act. It only takes a Senior Field Agent to decide that you could be hiding something and then they can plant devises in your house.

wiretaps are legal when someone is suspected of terrorism and or possible committed a crime. It also depends if they are the number one suspect and their is enough evidence

When there is enough probable cause to get a warrant, and a warrant is gotten.
