Episode 58 — Communications Access: ECPA, CALEA, and Lawful Intercepts

Access to communications is one of the most sensitive areas of privacy law. This episode explores the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), which regulates wiretaps and stored communications, and the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), which requires telecom providers to enable lawful intercepts. We’ll also highlight how warrants, subpoenas, and court orders function within this framework.

These laws are frequently tested because they illustrate how privacy protections are balanced with investigative needs. Understanding their structure prepares you for complex exam questions on surveillance and communications privacy. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com
