Answer 2

First they get a warrant that is signed by a judge.  Second, they tap the wire to the phone that they believe will be called by the person who they are trying to apprehend.  They didn't know where he was, they just knew that he would call Joe Pantoliano's character in the bail bonds firm.

Answer 3

They don't have to use the phone , they can use the T.V. to listen to you! they can use infer red scaning to watch what you do in your house! AND you can not do anything about it.
