Negli Stati Uniti le intercettazioni telefoniche autorizzate sono aumentate del 26 per cento tra il 2008 e il 2009. Senza nemmeno un De Magistris. E per la serie "ma là ci sono i giudici che vagliano caso per caso" non risulta nessun caso di intercettazione richiesta e non concessa.
Each wiretap caught the communications of an average of 113 people, meaning that 268,488 people had text messages or phone calls monitored through the surveillance in 2009, a new record. Only 19 percent of the intercepted communications were incriminating, the same as in 2008. The report attributes some of the rise in the numbers to better reporting by the nation’s courts. The 2009 taps led to the arrests of 4,537 people and 678 convictions. A wiretap authorized in 2008 in a drug case in Arizona netted 169 arrests and 116 convictions, while a drug-case wiretap from 2007 in Southern California led to 170 arrests and 17 convictions, prosecutors told the court this year.
