CONSENSUAL WIRETAP PHONE SYSTEM

摘要

To provide flexible capabilities to agencies, an agency service configures a virtual number for wiretapping communications between subjects and an informant. A wiretap module executing on the informant's device registers with the agency service for authorization to utilize a virtual number for wiretapping the informant device. The wiretapping module works in conjunction with the agency service to covertly route communications between the informant device and subject device through the virtual number, which may be monitored by agency personnel and the communications thereon recorded. Through the described wiretapping system, the informant may communicate with subjects in a traditional fashion utilizing the informant device all the while the communications are monitored and recorded with low cost to the agency.
