1 edit | What came first the Chicken or the Egg Some food for thought. This is why I believe warrant less wire taps are dangerous. They can be used for political purposes. Consider the situation regarding Eliot Spitzer. Mr. Spitzer is a Democrat and Governor of New York State. Apparently he had a falling out with the New York State Legislature. According to government officials the IRS was investigating some suspicious transfer of personal funds by Mr. Spitzer. As a result the Governor's Telecommunication Facilities were tapped. That is the governments story. What if on the other hand Mr. Spitzer's Telecommunication Facilities were tapped in order to dig up some dirt to throw in his face. In this case the opposing political party got a whole Manure Spreader full of you know what, to throw in his face. In fact what if all Democrats Telecommunication Facilities are tapped in order to find out some dirt to throw in there respective faces. Remember tricky Dicks Watergate scandal and attempted cover up.
What if one of the politicians children talk to one of their friends about smoking pot on the phone or via text messaging, would the opposing party then have justification to have the police pick the kid up and then arrest them for drug possession. The opposing party could then use the incident to embarrass the kids parents. Remember the current administration is accused of placing friendly prosecutors in key positions to find excuses to prostitute the Democrats on trumped charges. This is the real danger of warrant less wire taps. |

| (shaking head) Don't even go there, Mr. Conspiracy Theory. Spitzer was either deliberately trying to get caught, or more likely, was just so arrogant he thought he could do anything and get away with it.
The guy did cash transactions of a size that GUARANTEES the bank will report it to the IRS. The IRS HAS to look at it. It's the law.
When the IRS noted that these transactions were connected to a current FBI case, they simply passed it on to the FBI. The FBI was not looking for Spitzer by any strech of the imagination. They were getting ready to close down a big time prostitution ring. Spitzer was simply dropped into their laps. |
