Saying something is illegal and expecting everyone to follow the law is just pinky-swearing.


Yeah! Why have laws anyways? Every law will be broken sooner or later and it’s not like we have institutions tasked with enforcing laws. /s


I'm under the assumption that wiretapping to create evidence is illegal, but wiretapping to get a warrant probably happens all the time. (AKA Judge and Police officer listen to illegally captured audio - Judge approves official warrant to make future recordings legal)


Wiretapping by a private person should not happen.


"should not" and "does not" are not equal statements.
