If you are a law enforcement officer and what you are doing can make the world a better place, then by all means. Otherwise, you're just whining. Why don't you complain about the airport taking away privacy when they search our bags? What about theme parks such as Disney taking away our privacy when they search our bags? Where is the outcry when you walk into a 7-Eleven and get recorded on a security camera?

Totally two different things bud. I expect to have privacy in my own home (especially from my government). I don't expect the same when I'm out and about.

If you want to get technical, this thread is about phone calls. Are most phone conversations nowadays on land lines in your home or out and about on mobile phones?

Exactly, the calls are monitored and captured the same way.
